Sous Les Etoiles Gallery is thrilled to present the first solo exhibition of Ronan Guillou in New York.
Capturing the sudden moments of urban life: Ronan Guillou's photographs reveal peaceful environments disconnected from everyday life. Through the streets, we observe anonymous people in movement, in places that can be at once the origin and the result of a course. Their glances exceed their hopes and dreams.The photographer observes banal locations, awaiting the precise moment for a character to emerge and fit involuntarily into a cinematic backdrop. He achieves an aesthetic without artifice in an intact yet spontaneous balance. Through the precision of his glance, he exposes the force of contrasts combined with the geometry of urban cities. Attracted by this play of form, Ronan Guillou invents a new perspective of seeing what might seem insignificant.Sensitive and generous, the photographer collects coincidences between place and character. "I like this situation observing urban flow, where social and aesthetic differences live together. The city is rich with varied atmospheres, vibrations, and enigma. It offers us situations where characters can become unconscious actors of a sudden harmony." says Guillou.
Ronan Guillou received first prize in 2007 for his series "Passage," presented at the Museum of Decorative Arts of Paris (France), and was nominated in January 2008 for the Fondation HSBC pour la Photographie.

With "The Family of Dog", Michael Ruetz has created, over the last 50 years, a unique body of photographic work. Superficially, these images might appear to pay tribute to the established forms of animal photography. But a second, more focused view shows that the reverse is true. Ruetz' pictures are as far removed from those of the animal specialist...
