"I particularly liked the work of Alexandre Lécuyer, which I discovered this year. If photography has moved closer to the world of visual arts, this is particularly true with the direction chosen by this photographer, that of narration with the series on Tales which is closer to cinema and that of the pictorial tradition which gives us a view of a painting, here like gouache drawings with a pen."

 There is always a path in Alexandre's photographic work: the path we come from, the one that stops us, and the one we could take.
 On this imaginary path, we find the emotion of a situation, of a character in suspense. We perceive a landscape or a setting that allows us to invent the story that has just happened or that will happen, the one that exists only in the secret of a heart.
 Through these situations, there is always a light, like an opening that allows us to wait, to hope, to inspire... or to run away.
 In this work, whose frames are inspired, among other things, by Lynch's cinema and Hopper's realist painting, there is a palpable tension in silence and solitude.
 Calm? Waiting? Momentum? Or all of the above.
 Alexandre Lécuyer was born in 1970 and has been practicing photography for around twenty years.
