José NICOLAS (born in 1956) - Lot 113
José NICOLAS (born in 1956) Roches Escudelier Prints on Canson Photographie (Ultrasmooth) paper Kodak Portra 160 medium-format film Image dimensions: 40 x 40 cm Dimensions including margins: 60 x 60 cm Framed Note: Here, José Nicolas moves away from scenes of crowded beaches to present a much more contemplative image. The main subject is no longer the human figure but the interplay between the rocky coastline, the calm water, and the vegetation in the foreground. The small tree, slightly off-center, serves as a visual threshold: it guides the viewer’s gaze into the image before opening it up to the light-colored rocks and the sea. The photograph is based on a very soft, almost muted palette of bluish grays, beiges, and pale greens, which creates an atmosphere of stillness and silence. We also see in his work this preference for specific sites, rendered without sensationalism: the landscape is observed with care, in its materiality, its textures, and its diffused light. This results in a work that is more meditative than descriptive, where the Breton coast becomes less a mere tourist attraction and more a space for contemplation.
