About the Item

Stéphane COUTURIER (*1957, France) Reims – Halles du Boulingrin – From Knoebel's point of view #2, 2023 Archival pigment print Sheet 80 x 84.5 cm (31 1/2 x 33 1/4 in.) Edition of 5 (#1/5) Framed print Born in 1957 in Neuilly sur Seine, Stéphane Couturier currently lives and works in Paris. In 1994, Stéphane Couturier showed his first works in a series called 'Urban Archaeology', viewing the city as a living organism with multiple aspects. He photographed it deliberately avoiding anything that suggested poetry, nostalgia or strangeness. From 1999 on, Stéphane Couturier was increasingly drawn to suburbs and began to focus on a different type of landscape: on the one hand, by tackling housing blocks and high-rises in his 'Monuments' series; on the other, by photographing mushrooming housing developments.These generic cities soon became his favorite subject. – Reims 'In Reims, I was naturally drawn to the unmissable places like the cathedral or the halls of Boulingrin, but I also wanted to explore everyday places in the settlements, like the Croix-Rouge neighbourhood. Because unlike the monument, the housing module creates a rational and utilitarian functionality that is extremely simplified and negates any historicity of the place. I have combined these fragments of modular architecture with other sculptural elements such as those of Imi Knoebel in Reims Cathedral, of Jean Lurçat in his tapestry 'Champagne' or even of Victor Vasarely with his works on urban art, in a form of reconciliation of the arts.' – Stéphane Couturier – Art, Contemporary, Colour, Architecture, Photography, Geometry, Graphics, Structured, Pattern, Building, Knoebel
