Graphic photography

"Sébastien Bayette usually finds the motifs for his minimalist photography in urban environments. He chooses details from modern architecture that are often not immediately recognizable as such when removed from their context. In addition, they are futher alienated when an interplay of light and shadows is superimposed over walls, staircases, roofs and corridors like a second level. The result appears like a constructivist composition, a pictorial space divided into geometric surfaces consisting only of lines, form and color. Bayette thud develops an aesthetic visual language, graphic, factual, strictly reduced. A photography work of graphic quality." Art.Salon, 2024.
