Benedicte Gauthier Reviews, Biography

I had the pleasure to meet the young Artist Benedicte Gauthier when she
worked in Avignon for the Work Shop of my friend Jerry Rudes and, few
years later in the Mostra of Venice. She was shooting photography
from an original perspective on life of the city of the dodge .
She tried to capture all the signs of the renaissance fine art still
present in the modern context of an international movie festival. She
works with a lot of support, and has always a very sensitive and a
kind of secret to make the meeting between classic vision ( throught the
eyes of her "antique and argentic Olympus or in Super heigt film ) and new
media ( HD video, computer and web creation ) . I was not suprise to
find out that she likes to travel in Europe and specially in Italy, because
i think sincerely that she is really in the spirit of the new creative
way that we call " renaissance movement, so perhaps one of the first
neo renaissance woman i have ever met. We always keep in touch because the
vision she was developing trough her photography works or video or songs and
musical experiences was very strong and give to the audience a true
emotional experiment .
