Remi Besse is a French artist who defines himself as “images creator “.
Urban reality comes to life through his seemingly simple collages but in reality, the result of the careful observation brings out the poetry of the street. As Remi tells:
“These graphic patchworks show silhouettes that mix with the grain of the bitumen, the spray of a spray of paint and the tearing of the paper. A linear and refined line comes to marry the atmospheres of this agitated Paris, he says. Sometimes they are plots in the cliché. Sometimes hand-made collages from prints. Sometimes associated elements digitally to create a contrast. In any case, the idea is always to create urban compositions from portraits or moments of life”.
His works combine photography, ink, and painting, inside an organized chaos that is assembled in a creative way. This alternative look on Paris gives us an original and perhaps more truthful imaginary, in contrast with classic icons, often associated with the city that represent only a part of this immense urban context.
