Rising Circles – Georges Rousse

Rising Circles – Georges RousseAt 75, with hundreds of quadrature installations to his credit, Georges Rousse never ceases to amaze. As architect, draughtsman, visual artist and photographer, he has mastered every aspect of the construction of his photographic work. Georges Rousse allowed himself to be inspired by the spaces of the Hangar and conjured a yellow circle, like a “sun.”At 75, with hundreds of quadrature installations to his credit, Georges Rousse never ceases to amaze. As architect, draughtsman, visual artist and photographer, he has mastered every aspect of the construction of his photographic work. Georges Rousse allowed himself to be inspired by the spaces of the Hangar and conjured a yellow circle, like a “sun.” When the sun rises at the Hangar, it is echoed by a series of concentric circles. We have in fact opted not for the angle of chronology, colour or types of space from among the hundreds of works created by Georges Rousse in the four corners of the world, but for the circle. With Rising Circles, the exhibition looks back over decades of work on the world’s most powerful symbol, the circle. Alongside the moon, the sun and the wheel of life, you’ll also see the camera lens. For anyone looking at George Rousse’s work, it’s not just a matter of Close Enough, but also of finding the «right angle of view.»Rising Circles – Georges RousseLocation: Place du Châtelain, 18, 1050 Ixelles
