Jean-François Rauzier was invited by the Fondation Claude Monet to spend 3 months from May 2022 living and working in the grounds of Claude Monet's famous home and gardens, from which the Impressionist master took much inspiration later in life.
Jean-François took thousands of images during his residency, shooting the abundant gardens, the legendary water lily pond and Japanese bridge, as well as the interior of the house itself, including Monet's studio, the kitchen and bedrooms.
Our Giverny exhibition also coincides with the 150th anniversary of the Impressionist movement, which will be commemorated in France with many events and celebrations. Monet’s painting Impression, soleil levant of 1872 gave the daring new art movment its name.
Throughout this stunning new series, Rauzier has responded to the great legacy of Monet. Each of the 17 compositions contains many hundreds of images, stitched together using his amazing creativity, art historical knowledge and technical skill. Rauzier’s work is represented in many important international museum and private collections.

Jean-François Rauzier
Jean-François Rauzier is an internationally acclaimed photographer, who has had museum shows in Paris, Edinburgh, Sao Paolo, Moscow, Los Angeles and Washington DC. Waterhouse & Dodd is his exclusive agent in the USA, UK and Middle East and has shown his work in exhibitions and fairs in New York, Palm Beach, Miami, Los Angeles, Abu Dhabi, Maastricht and London, selling over 250 of his Hyperphoto.
In 2002, when Jean-François Rauzier created his first Hyperphoto, he was already an established photographer and had been searching for a new creative method that would differ considerably from the traditional model. With his Hyperphoto, he strove to capture “the panorama and the macro view all at once, to stop time and to have the possibility of viewing all the details of a static image."
The artist carefully composes each work from elements and images he has collected over many years, working in some ways more like a painter than a photographer, creating his own supernatural man-made world. Using digital technology, he cuts, moves and constructs buildings, gardens, animals, and many other objects, - carefully collected during long photographic sessions to inspire a new fantastic landscape, a capricious picture or a baroque masterpiece. He strives to transform the world according to his dreams, wishes and anxieties, and to recreate the magic and secrecy of ancient legends and stories using 21st century media. Of course, none of his mastery of technology would be worthy unless it was combined with a true artistic vision. Rauzier possesses a deep knowledge of literature and history, which he utilizes with his unique wit and humor.
