Patrick Devresse
Photographer
Patrick Devresse has held numerous exhibitions in France and Europe since 1985.
His curiosity about the history of a place and his encounters with people make him a creator of images that are both poetic and rooted in reality. He collaborates with many artists.
“Patrick Devresse is a man who observes. Who gently scrutinizes the reality around him. Just like that. Casually. And sometimes even looks down while smiling. His mind elsewhere. As if keeping a watchful eye on the world and simply living were intimately linked. His photos resemble him, and his silences are the negative of an intensely controlled reflection, with a sensitivity as strong as that of the paper on which he reveals his world. A man who doesn’t just take photographs. A man who is photography.”
