Jean-Pierre Merlhou

France
Artist (Photography, Digital Arts)
Born 1942

Jean-Pierre Merlhou is a self-taught photographer and digital artist, and creates sculptures that he calls "assemblances" or "resemblances". They are made up of stumps or various woods, stones, and sometimes other materials from the land or the sea. He also creates digital photos that he revisits computer graphics, as well as poems.

Jean-Pierre Merlhou has acquired some bases, notably at the School of Applied Arts in Paris, but he is above all an autodidact in art and life. A former professional photographer, he notably had the opportunity to "shoot" photos of H. Cartier Bresson and to be the assistant of several "big names" in photography such as Willy Risso.

It should be noted that his photos of rocks and pebbles show all the similarities that may exist between these natural forms and that of a woman's body. He shows the stone as, yesterday, Bill Brandt (his master in the matter) showed above all body parts placed in the presence of pebbles. These experiences and personal research have left traces and shaped his particular gaze, which has been exercised, sharpened and sometimes injured by the rough grindstone of time and life.

Today, Jean-Pierre Merlhou returns in particular to his old photographic loves and fully engages in his creations. He wishes to give, but above all to exchange and share his graphic and aesthetic vision.
