Anaïck Crozon

Today’s Brand New Art We Heart is the stunning photography of London-based Anaïck Crozon. Her portraits are quietly moving, full of poignant details: the bruise of a shadow, droplets of water on an arm, a tree growing out of concrete. Inspired by Flemish painting and early photography, her exquisite, mostly black and white photographs seem to reflect on sight itself: how to the camera, as to the human eye, everything is made of light. All meaning we assign to images is, at its base, meaning assigned to formations of light: how it shifts in and out of darkness like foam at the edge of an ocean.

            Born in Paraguay, Ana began making photographs when her father gave her his old analog camera and taught her to develop black and white prints in a lab. Since then, she’s lived all over the world, bringing her camera along with her. She studied in France and was an assistant to Bettina Rheims before she landed in London, where she continues to make stunning work.
