Damien Daufresne moves between the disciplines of painting, drawing, photography and film. Light, darkness and movement are the elements he uses to suggest bodies or corporeality. "The physical material is important to him," says the author Cara Wuchold, "In addition to the charcoal and chalk here, that is, the photographic paper, the film rolls and also the chemicals. It is precisely these aggressive substances that get under the skin that create the necessary resistance. They react - and he reacts to them. What the works have in common: they do without colour, black and white dominates. The diversity of grey is evident in the recent large-format, two-dimensional paintings. The grey here shimmers brownish, yellowish, bluish. In his drawings, photographs and films, Daufresne creates moments of condensation, in which a dark secret or even a still concealed radiance is inherent. In them, he exposes the poetry of things." Daufresne also works with various publishers, such as "Fata Morgana", "Delpire", "Origini edizioni" and "Blow-Up".
