Vues romancées de 1970 #3

1970 romanticized views is a set of painterly frames that look back at a decade through softened glass. Mediterranean terraces, Riviera pools, alpine valleys, golden-hour resorts — places that live in postcards, family slides and the opening pages of old travel magazines. The series isn't documentary. It's the way memory rewrites the seventies: cleaner light, calmer color, a single figure held still inside a view that goes on without her. Each piece is built in a painterly photographic register — flat, generous color blocks, soft modeling, horizons that read closer to gouache than to film. Coral, terracotta, pool-green, dusty olive and dry sky-blues recur across the series, tying the frames into a shared palette without making them identical. Figures are usually turned away or absorbed in the landscape, so the viewer steps into the pose rather than meets a gaze. Together the works read like a private archive of a summer that may or may not have happened — composed, romantic, slightly fictional. They sit comfortably in living rooms, hallways, hotel suites and quiet bedrooms where you want a window onto somewhere else. Pigment prints on Alu-Dibond, frameless with a floating mount effect, in a generous range of sizes across the series.
