About the artist :
Born in 1948 in the French Alps, Jean Turco spent his adolescence in Chamonix Mont Blanc. He awarded a diploma in photography and made numerous images of high mountain. At the age of 20, he left "the valley" for Paris where he is going to exercise as a game an activity which fascinates him and will allow him to visit a lot of distant countries by taking in his luggage Leica IIIf and Hasselblad which share his life. He has so produced in Europe, in the United States or in Emirates and Sultanates of the Gulf, uncountable landscapes and portraits; his taste for these last ones asserting itself during journeys in India and in Pakistan. In 2000, he rethought his implication in the photography and decided to dedicate himself to it full-time. He abandoned then quite other activity, tidied up his inseparable IIIf and Hasselblad in a cupboard, took back his Sinar P 20x25 and Nikon-digital then burned symbolically and without mood, his negatives and archival to start all over again. Mainly intended for the exhibitions, he made more of seventy these last years, his photos concern since numerous subjects even if the portrait, the nude and the still life remain privileged. Except his personal works, except the writing of works and except the articles on the photography and workshop / studios which he runs in numerous European countries, Jean Turco works mainly on commission for private individuals or advertising agencies. He uses according to the use of the produced images everything kind of existing shot equipments but the Sinar P2, the chamber of size 8x10 inches (20x25 cm) big film photography format which he processes personally in his laboratory, became his favourite equipment. Besides the catalogs of his exhibitions, he publishes in the editions Pearson: "The photo of nude" (2010); "The art of the lighting" (2012). Settled in Paris, he works a big part of the year in Italy, in Venice and to Glera di Giais, where he has his roots. text by Michel-Pascal Berthgelf
