Pierre Aucher

Surrealist Body

This photographic project is based on my attraction to surrealist painting, in particular the work of René Magritte. His two paintings “Torse nu dans les nuages” (1937) and “Magie noire” (1945) were the first source of inspiration. In the end, photography dialogues with painting and sculpture.

About Artist

Pierre Aucher

Self-taught, photography has been a passion since the age of 15, when I acquired my first camera, a Zenith E. In the early days, learning from a book on "creative photography" shaped my eye. Whatever the subject, my eye remains sensitive to original framing, graphic shapes, saturated colours and high contrasts. I've always photographed traditional subjects such as landscapes, architecture and nudes. But my attraction for art, painting and sculpture, is at the origin of the two projects presented. For the current project, "Surrealist body", I've taken up a new photographic practice, making photomontages in Photoshop. These are made (without AI) from digitised personal slides. This new practice opens up an infinite space for creativity. As with surrealist painting, these photomontages satisfy my desire to transform reality into the imaginary without the constraints of reason.
