Biography
Jean-Marie Virat is a photographer who has been practicing photography for over 25 years. From film until the end of the 90s, he moved to digital in the 2000s. From 2008-2009 his photo activity took on a more sustained rhythm.
Almost self-taught, he took a course from the City of Paris over a year (1999-2000) and participated in a few internships. In 2014 he decided to propose a first exhibition. Since then he has made several.
His work is essentially in color, urban and graphic, even if he also practices what is called street art, street scenes. Here again the graphic organization creates the atmosphere. Lines structure his photographs and offer a rhythm to their reading.
He “shoots” mainly in town, in Paris and during his travels, with a particular affection for Asia. His masters: above all a painter, Paul Klee. And in photo, Saul Leiter and Harry Gruyaert.
A theme crosses the periods: facades. With meticulous graphics and framing, he tries to convey their poetry, their music. He compares these works to compositions for which we would have privileged the rhythms. More broadly, he remains fascinated by flat surfaces. With his exhibition walls ripe he tried to talk about the time that passes on the walls.

Mention spéciale dans Minimal Urban Photography
Mention spéciale dans Minimal Urban Photography (Groupe Facebook), avec pour commentaire :
There are a few photographers with an individual eye and a discernably different sensibility and our current special mention winner, Jean-Marie Virat, is one. Avoiding the merely pretty, decorative, or merely formally perfect, Jean-Marie brings intelligence and humour to his choice of subjects and his way of shooting them. Both this photo and the other shot he published recently make a political or social comment while being both witty and elegant minimal urban photographs in their own right. Vive la différence ! Which is what this award is for, something worthy of being singled out. Bravo, Jean-Marie, mes félicitations sincères ! – avec Jean-Marie Virat.

Brilliant. Gorgeous in its simplicity.
Apparaissant dans une trouée du ciel ou de l'asphalte, "Chez Lili et Marcel" offre de quoi rêver !

Il y a longtemps que j'ai envie d'aller à Palerme. Votre mur redouble mon envie de prendre mon billet séance tenante.
Vous avez "attrapé" là un extraordinaire réseau de signes auxquels, habituellement, on ne porte pas d'attention. J'aime bien.
Photo dans la photo. C'est superbe !
Cette juxtaposition d'aplats est magnifique. le tirage est parfaitement réussi, bravo !
