Sans Titre ( Je suis là )

1997

George Tony STOLL

Photography

120 x 80 cm

Georges Tony Stoll's photographs remain deliberately enigmatic, composed of figures, bodies, everyday objects, and mundane and often organic forms, all easily identifiable. Bodies, colours, forms, objects, paintings and photos are linked without hierarchy, at the risk of producing absurd configurations.

This creation illustrates Stoll's need to create images by representing pre-imagined scenes. The places he chooses - often for their strangeness - have no story: they are transformed by these apparitions. The question he asks, and that he wants the public to ask when contemplating these disconcerting compositions: "What happens after the surprise?"

Painter, photographer and video artist, Georges Tony Stoll also works as a film production designer and his production is the result of the fertile dialog created between painting, photography, illustration and writing, forming thus his “territory of abstraction”, where anything can occur in an ambiguous and enigmatic atmosphere. Georges Tony Stoll's photographs remain deliberately enigmatic, composed of figures, bodies, everyday objects, and mundane and often organic forms, all easily identifiable. These elements are mixed with paintings and photographs leading to absurdity. The artist does not writes a story beforehand but his apparitions offer the spectator the opportunity to wonder “What happens after the surprise?”
