Influenced by the intimate rendering of Edward Hopper and Vilhelm Hammershoi, Jean-Philippe Deugnier’s images do not try to account for a truth-reality, but transform it into a poetic representation, exploring the human landscape, feeding on Contemporary world, its speed, its strata, its multiplicity, to carry it beyond the figuration.<\/p>\n
For the Blueprint series, the artist intertwines two images, one “real” and the other redesign as a “Blueprint”, and transfers them on lenticular sheets. Depending on the angle of view, some details are revealed and some others occulted, alternately.<\/p>\n
Through this optical game, Jean-Philippe Deugnier is questioning the interpretation and the concept that we have of images, while approaching a chromatic pictorial rendering and a modeling close to the sculpture. He wants to propose a perceptual experience of diving within the image, an exploration of the notion of vision.<\/p>\n
