The Netherlands has lost a great artist. A poet, a designer, but first of all, a photographer. Gerard Fieret passed away last January at the respectable age of 85. Kahmann Gallery is proud to present a tribute to his work.
Fieret's photographic works have long been underestimated. Fortunately this seems to be changing. Words of appreciation mark the articles written about the photographer, such as the cover article in the renowned American magazine Art and Auction and the homage in the international photography magazine Eyemazing. Also the growing popularity on auctions in Amsterdam and New York indicates the esteem towards his photography, as does the retrospective of his work in the photography museum in The Hague.
From 1967 on, Fieret photographed everything that crossed his path: women, kids, animals, street scenes and himself. He photographed spontaneously, without the use of artistic light or set up poses. The power and topicality of Fieret's pictures can be seen in the unconventional way he approached his subjects and the quite unusual, rough methods he used to develop and print his photos. His experimentation with cropping, exposures and retouching resulted in some of the characteristic elements of his work: the use of strong contrasts, spots of light, clumsy dark patches and motion blur. Also distinctive of his work is the use of a great amount of copyright stamps and signatures, which form an inextricable part of Fieret's work. He believed it was compulsory to mark his photos in such an explicit way, so nobody could imitate his work.
Fieret's photos are clearly his vision of the world: his impressions are playful and mischiveous, but raw and confrontational at the same time.

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
