 | After studies as a historian, twenty years of work in graphic design, marketing and publicity, after years of painting, drawing, travelling, driving classic cars, hundreds of concerts, operas and museum visits... I’m getting even more obsessed by my quest for beauty. Beauty is my escape from the banality and the ugliness in our daily lives: it’s the ultimate joy of the senses, the biggest contribution to happiness next to love. Photography finally proved to be the most flexible tool to capture these wonderful moments and share them with others. It made me see things I wouldn’t have seen, but more important, made me meet people I wouldn’t have met. Who knows one day we also meet at either side of the camera... “There is a dark sweet strangeness that radiates from within An Sophie and Bart's work. Maybe it’s because it is the work of two very talented people, four eyes with a razor focus on different things which pull in tandem to create images that force the viewer, if the viewer takes the time and effort, to see what these amazingly talented people have placed on a banquet laden table for us, the mere viewer,... ...and let's face it, the juices of a rich meal really do taste best when those juices are running from the corners of one's mouth, not caring about the mess. Enjoy these rich juices served by An Sophie and Bart. I do, on a very regularly lust schedule.” Bob Fischer Photomeister Palm Springs, USA (www.robertfischerphoto.com) bart@edison.be |
