Blue Elephant Theatre, Camberwell

Séverine A. Raynaud (1985, France) is a Fine Art portrait photographer.

With a conceptual and symbolic approach, she asks question about the artist's place in the modern society, and challenges the viewer to think about his own.

Influenced by folklore (Celtic, Native American, Asian) and movies (Tim Burton, Hayao Miyazaki) she places her lonely characters (often masked) in enchanted surreal backgrounds and situations. Despite looking dark and moody her artworks are talking about hope, and how finding light in darkness.

"Storytellers transported me as a child into dangerous and enchanted worlds, I remember how I was wondering about how often a nobody could become a hero. There were my favorite stories. I would like to establish the same kind of connection with the viewers through my photography."

Séverine A. Raynaud is currently working and living in London.

The exhibition is open is open to the public before and after our shows and by appointment Mondays to Fridays.
