Matthieu Venot (b.1979) was born in Brest, France. Studied sound engineer and worked in the world of music. With a passion to create, VENOT extends his imaginations and joined the world of photography at the age of 35.
VENOT started with a strong desire to rediscover his town of origin, Brest in Brittany, he captures his home town from his own perspective, and fuses his love for photography through the lens/expression of a camera. This shows well in his series of Firework, Ground Loop, Ain't Got No Troubles, Prism, Who Want Sky, and his latest series – Safer.
Since 2014, VENOT has focused on developing his own photographic language. Focusing his lens on architectural details and adopting constructive angles, VENOT advances and enjoys in creating abstract geometric images. He only photographs when the weather is incredibly good—VENOT uses the immaculate sky as the background of a studio. His daring way manages to maintain and enrich the composition of his pictures in a simple, geometric and graphic way; he blends the nature and the environment into his photographs instinctively. Lines cross over and overlap. shapes stand out from the nature’s blue background, and making us to forget what we are observing… a roof, a wall, a railing, a balcony... VENOT leads us to blend into the infinite world of colour.
The French fine art photographer uses the blue sky to enhance the nature of colours. Colour is, in fact, of the utmost importance in VENOT's photography. Excluding the Brittany greyness, VERNOT transforms Brest with dancing colours… the artist helps us to capture the wonderful moment that we missed. According to the artist, the choice of colours is a way of transmitting his love towards his home town and towards nature.
VENOT leads oneself to embrace nature at all time.
Matthieu Venot (b. 1979) 出生於法國布雷斯特。最初接受過音響工程師的培訓，他曾在音樂行業工作，直到35歲時才發現了自己對攝影的熱情。
懷著重新發現布列塔尼家鄉布雷斯特的渴望，Venot 通過他獨特的視角捕捉其精髓，將他對攝影的熱愛與相機的表現力融為一體。自2014年以來，他專注於發展自己的攝影語言，深入研究建築細節，並採用創新的角度拍攝。Venot 擅長創造抽象的幾何圖像，挑戰傳統的感知。他只在晴朗的天空下拍攝，利用純淨的藍天作為自然攝影棚。這種大膽的方式豐富了他的構圖，直觀地將自然與環境融合在一起。線條相交重疊，形狀從鮮艷的藍色中浮現，促使觀眾暫時忘卻他們所觀察的事物——屋頂、牆壁、欄杆、陽台——邀請他們進入一個無限的色彩世界。
作為一名美術攝影師，Venot 運用藍天來增強圖像的鮮艷感。色彩在他的作品中扮演著至關重要的角色；超越布列塔尼典型的灰色調，他將布雷斯特轉化為一塊舞動色彩的畫布。通過他的鏡頭，他捕捉到那些常常被忽視的瞬間，表達了他對家鄉和自然世界的深厚情感。對於Venot來說，色彩的選擇是他與布雷斯特及自然之美情感聯結的真摯表達。
