ONE DOLLAR RING - à l'échelle nanométrique Digital Arts by Bruno Lhonneur

French creator, in the field of plastic arts and design, Bruno LHONNEUR lives and works in Occitanie. This former Normale Sup student also teaches at CPGE Arts & Design in Toulouse.

Building the image involves selecting and extracting significant, necessary and sufficient elements from the mass of information present in reality. Also, relying on instinct and reason, Bruno LHONNEUR takes care to compose images that poetically question everyday life. In a contemporary media environment saturated with ultra-sophisticated images, he aspires to produce images devoid of superfluous artifice. This is why out of love for beautiful paper, grain, material, products and their alchemy, he presents the majority of his work in monochrome prints. Thus, he creates current images with the methods of the pioneers of photography and for this, he uses the cyanotype. The emulsion being applied with a brush, each print is unique. The latter may still have undergone a natural toning (or toning) to give it a more classic tone.

The cyanotype is the result of a positive print process with a saturated blue color and a matte texture, also known as the ferroprusside process. This technique was developed in 1842 by an English scientist, astronomer, chemist and pioneer of photography: Sir John Frederick William Herschel. Cyanotypes exhibit very high stability over time and as proof, those made in the mid-19th century have retained their colors for more than 150 years.

Bruno LHONNEUR also presents a selection of his multidisciplinary production.
