Organized by maison parisienne at Studio Harcourt, Aurélie Mathigot’s solo show “Galerie de Portraits” is based on a correspondence between 50 unique artworks by Aurélie Mathigot – sharp portraits, blurred portraits, in black and white, in color – and Studio Harcourt’s mythical portraits.
Through partial or total correspondances, when Studio Harcourt embellishes, intensifies and deepens its subject by its signature light and shade, Aurélie Mathigot uses a subtle interplay of textures.
From Aurélie Mathigot’s self portrait to Studio Harcourt’s founder Cosette Harcourt’s portrait, those unique portraits present two writings and re-writings of the history of photography, and represent two singular visions.
