Photographer Alexy Louis Garnier is exhibiting his work at the Galerie Casablu in Valbonne from 29 April to 6 May 2024. The opening will take place on Saturday 4 May at 5.30pm at the gallery. I invite visitors to immerse themselves in this immersive experience and discover a different America, seen through the prism of art. The choice of the United States as the main subject of this exhibition stems from a desire to capture the very essence of this country, which stands out for its monumental scale, innovative architecture and striking contrasts. A visual immersion into the heart of the United States, captured through the lens of my precious talents. Ideal for exploring the different facets of iconic cities such as New York, Washington D.C, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento and Chicago, as well as the western style of the American West. The Provençal art gallery in Valbonne provides a warm and authentic setting for this exhibition. Imbued with the characteristic charm of Provence, it creates a harmonious contrast with the captivating shots of the United States. Alexy Louis Garnier
