"Abstract Smoke" - An exploration of form by Philippe Hugonnard
In this fascinating collection in black and white, Philippe Hugonnard explores the impalpable world of smoke, a material that is fragile, moving and poetically elusive. Through meticulous studio work, the artist manages to freeze the ephemeral, transforming these delicate wisps into abstract compositions of great visual power.
Each shot reveals a subtle dance between light and shadow, where wispy lines rise, cross and dissolve in an almost choreographic movement. Here, smoke becomes a plastic language, an instrument of pure creation, freed from all material constraints. True to his contemporary, minimalist approach, Philippe Hugonnard plays with deep contrasts, revealing the hidden beauty of invisible forms and the poetry of suspended movement.
Through this series, the artist questions the very notion of form and impermanence. What is merely a breath becomes sculpture, and what vanishes becomes etched on film. The works are both timeless and meditative, inviting the viewer to contemplate the tenuous boundary between reality and abstraction.
Abstract Smoke is Philippe Hugonnard's ode to lightness and transience, transforming smoke into a symbol of freedom, transformation and pure visual creation. A hypnotic series, in which the simplicity of black and white reveals all the richness of the imagination.
