Niall McDiarmid : Colour (SIGNÉ)

Exemplaire Signé. / Signed Copy La vie moderne perd peu à peu ses couleurs. Le travail du photographe Niall McDiarmid se présente comme un antidote joyeux aux tonalités grises qui dominent désormais l’architecture, les intérieurs, la mode ou encore l’automobile. Depuis plus de quinze ans, il parcourt le Royaume-Uni pour documenter les couleurs qui subsistent naturellement dans le quotidien. Modern life is losing its colour. Photographer Niall McDiarmid’s work is a joyful antidote against greyscale tones predominant across architecture, interiors, fashion and cars. For over 15 years the photographer has traversed the UK, documenting the inherent colour of life as he finds it. “Look at any street these days and you’ll struggle to find a colourful car. Greys, whites and blacks dominate. Office blocks and housing developments are a sea of taupe and beige. Minimalism and modernism have drained the pigment from everyday life. Monochrome has taken over. So I went in search of full colour. Not just accents of colour here and there, but frames that were full edge to edge, corner to corner of the brightest tones I could find. Street corners, shops, cafes, museums, galleries, anything with the most luminous of shades, I hunted down. Colour is dynamism and strength and passion. Colour is life.”
