Luminous photos by artist Thomas Braut
Thomas Braut is a French photographer and Art Director. With all the fugue of the self taught, he embraces his art with a fresh perspective. Brilliant colors and meticulous staging conspire to give his works epic scope. His influences range from the exuberance of Baroque paintings to the effervescence of American pop culture. Through his lens, a routine activity becomes a glorious moment of timeless beauty. His unique signature has opened doors to prestigious collaborations on projects with Katy Perry, Céline Dion, international luxury brands, French TV channel TF1, and more.
Expressing himself primarily through photo montage, alchemy between the initial shot and meticulous post-production, Thomas Braut creates elaborately staged scenes. They allow him to construct his own personal universe where every element, from lighting to the smallest detail, has been carefully thought out.
Thomas Braut presents Escape, an introspective collection. These works express a longing for change, the quest for meaning and escape. In each of the works on display at VeluxArt, the protagonists all seem to be asking themselves: What am I doing here? The works symbolize the moment of soul-searching when they will make the decision to escape and change their life. Hidden amidst stunningly beautiful decors, these isolated individuals meditate life in spectacular American settings.
