“When I discovered the work of Nicolas Claris and Romain Claris I was immediately struck by the poetic power of the two practices, just "seeing". Both come from the world of communication, the aesthetics are licked, the contours are clear, the plastic refined.
Then comes the fault, the fold, which brings us back to this trivial, almost wild reality. "A sky in a wild flower" is made up of two series never before unveiled in a gallery in Bordeaux, an exhibition dedicated to the work of the two artists, whose selection has become obvious.
These two series combine in dialogue, "A little red yet" and "On The Rocks" (unpublished), synthesize this intrinsic opposition to the two practices, that of photography and video, to become one and summon then two visions which are expressed in unison, between clarity and depth, nobility and humility. In tandem, the beauty frozen by the photographic lens of Nicolas Claris comes to life when Romain Claris takes over with his camera.
These two gazes intersect, intertwine, mingle and intertwine in echo... thus they manage by a tour de force to capture in the immediacy of a furtive beauty a light, a moment magnified by a dazzling splendor thanks to the prisms of the two accomplices.”
