Artist Biography:
Since the late 1980s, French photographer Philippe Gronon has been developing a body of work with a view camera. From shutter release to print, he has combined the specific resources of gelatin silver and digital processes in accordance with the planned result. His subjects have been those that have a function of physical or mental transition, of exchange, passage, or communication (elevator doors, X-ray plates, blackboards, lithographic stones, etc.). Working in black and white, each object was photographed frontally, filling the whole image, eliminating any context, anecdote, or picturesqueness.

Philippe Gronon has exhibited widely in Europe including solo shows at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (1997), Centre Régional d'art Contemporain, Montbéliard, France (2001 and 2013), Mamco Geneva (2003 and 2010), Villa Medici, Rome (2010), Musée des beaux-arts, Nantes (2010), Musée des Beaux arts de Dijon & Musée Magnin Dijon (2012), Musée Picasso, Paris (2016), and in group exhibitions, including La Force de l'Art and Grand Palais (2006), Centre Pompidou (2006 and 2007), Foundation Prada (2014), and currently at the Musée de Grenoble. less
