PIERROT MEN

Photograph entitled "Four children, Sarodrano, 1995", signed: Originally from the south-east coast of Madagascar, Pierrot Men opened his first photographic laboratory at the age of 20. Artist in the soul, his true passion is painting, photography being only the support allowing him to reproduce on canvas what he has captured with his eyes. But according to his friends, he is more gifted for the instantaneous image than for pictorial art. He chooses to depict all the richness of his Big Island by capturing moments, situations, settings, landscapes... Each one of his photographs is a painting that lives, breathes, calls us to the depths of ourselves. Pierrot Men's work is an open book on Madagascar and nothing escapes his sharp eye, at the same time tender, modest and captive, which observes this world with wonder, humility and discretion to exhale all its greatness. It is the authenticity and the very essence of his country, it is also the soul of a whole people who express themselves in his work, which has been rewarded many times and whose talent can be appreciated in numerous exhibitions. https://www.pierrotmen.com/ "Four children, Sarodrano, 1995": original print (unframed, author's signature, date and place, on textured matte watercolour paper 250 g/m2, 100% UltraChrom K3 inkjet cotton) measuring 30 x 45 cm".
