FRANCOIS HALARD: ART AND FLOWERS (HB)

Long revered for his personal photography of the world’s most celebrated buildings and interiors, Halard strikes a new path with two new bodies of work. In 2024, Halard began photographing the objects immediately surrounding him with his Polaroid camera. He then enlarged a select number of his Polaroids, which he worked on top with paint, wax, and other materials to give the final results a strong, layered sense of history and memory. Halard’s transformation of the ephemeral into the permanent give power and beauty to these compelling images.
