Claude Corbier
Claude Corbier, a singular journey and works that challenge by mixing photography, digital art and painting.
He went from music to photography, before producing multimedia pieces, working alongside Barcelona artists who created the Movida in the late 1970s. At the same time, he ran a photographic laboratory before becoming a photojournalist and journalist, then communicating in an institutional and political environment.
Adept of collage, assembly and digital manipulations, he prints his creations on various paper supports, but also wood, metal, tarpaulin, plexiglass.
He often embellish these creations retouching ink and/or acrylic.
After a long practice of collage, he works on the fusion of images enhanced with various computer effects. He prints on metal, wood, plexiglass, paper or paint frames. For several years he has gone beyond the photographic medium to touch on assemblage and sculpture. He has recently returned to his first loves by including sound and perfumes in his installations. Recent training in the production of short photographic films now allows him to produce differently, from photos, but also from video and sound.
