Biography
In March 1984 Damien Vassart was born in the suburbs of Brussels where he spent the first nine years of his life. He first of all moved to the south of France. Nine years later, he settled in the West Indies for two years, at the end of which he returned to the mainland to study in Paris, where he currently lives and works.His taste for art and his observational skills, blended nostalgically when he recalls the magnificent landscapes of the regions in which he has lived, naturally led him to landscape photography. Paris and its monuments, La Défense and its imposing towers, but also the pared down marine landscapes became his favourite subjects. Classic, as well as contemporary influences, dictate these artistic choices. Black and white and square formats are a permanent feature of his work, as well as the long exposure that he uses to give his pictures their dreamlike aspect. His photographs of Paris were exhibited at the Lucernaire Gallery in January 2010. He is planning to visit other cities, whilst continuing to work on Paris which never ceases to inspire him.
