Gloaguen Yohann | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Yohann has made a space for himself in the art world thanks to his constant curiosity and subtle visual sharpness. After completing his studies in communications in Quebec, he decided to go live in Paris to work in film. Selftaught, he managed to become an assistant to many film directors for over a decade before deciding to move on to making films himself. His work in film will lead him to many cities and countries where he will instinctively begin to take pictures of the places he sees, attempting each time to "capture" the atmosphere that emanates from them and from the people that inhabit them. The artist is drawn to lives in the cities and he squeezes into these spaces, crawling with people, in order to uncover, while wandering about, the detail that will make him reach for his camera. "Always searching for the magic of the moment", Yohann has developed an instinctive reaction that resembles that of a reporter.
