Alain Brasseur
Alain Brasseur is a professional artist who produces photographs, digital art, drawings, and paintings. His pictures capture the simplicity of a nature that we no longer have time to appreciate, that we take little care of or that we mistreat, and that we destroy.
He has a keen awareness of the importance of practical ecology. The abandonment of photography and the installation in the Cévennes are linked to a "fatigue" of the chemical products of the photographic laboratory and the quality of life of the rural world. He was able to combine his ethics and his love of photography with digital photography. Alain Brasseur's lens lent itself to the diversity, the beauty, the poetry, even the ferocity of nature. There is also an "idea" there: to magnify nature, especially insects, these little creatures that we crush or "insecticid" without remorse, unaware of the disappearance of species. The death of a polar bear on an ice floe affects society, but not the disappearance of insects, which are just as important for the survival of humanity.
Alain Brasseur was born in Paris in 1943. After taking evening classes at the Vaugirard School of Photography in the early 1960s, this native of Paris worked for two years as a photographer for the newspaper "Age tender et tête de wood", then as assistant to still photographer Wolfgang Fiebig. He left Paris in 1971 to start a new life as a farmer in the Cévennes. When digital photography made its appearance in 1992, he returned to the world of photography. Several exhibitions followed, including one with the Cévenol Creative Collective at "la fourmilière", as well as others at Pont de Montvert, Château de Portes, Génolhac, Alès...

Une nature éblouissante
De l'image pour l'apaisement, l'évasion de l'esprit, la méditation, pour nous faire oublier durant quelques moments le monde furieux , nous ressourcer grâce à la simplicité d'une nature que l'on n'a plus le temps de voir, dont on ne se soucie guère ou mal, et que l'on "azotopesticide" a outrance.
Je reprends pour cette collection une idée d'Alphonse Karr qui disait " faites le tour du monde moi je fais le tour de mon jardin " il est vrai que l'inattendu, donc l'aventure, est souvent au rendez vous, dans une nature éblouissante pour ,peu que l'on veuille bien y porter attention.
Une petite citation poétique que je fais mienne : "je me suis appuyée à la beauté du monde, et j'ai tenu l'odeur des saisons entre mes mains". Anna de Noailles dans l'offrande à la nature.
La poésie ne serait elle pas l'art majeur?
