Fabien Baron: Liquid Light 1983-2003…..by Fabien Baron
Fabien Baron was born and raised in France, before moving to the U.S. in the early 80s. He has served as creative director for Italian Vogue, Interview and Harper’s Bazaar, and is currently the creative director at French Vogue. Baron is also the founder of Baron & Baron, the powerful branding, advertising and packaging agency.
Spanning 20 years and two continents this books draws from over 2,000 photographs taken by Baron. From sites to which Baron returned year after year, these works transform concrete, geographical sites into abstract tableaux. While each image varies in its detail of weather, hour and light (along with lens and film stock), the series maintains a fundamental compositional device: water and sky bisected by horizon. The images are deceptively still, chromatic abstractions gleaned from a sea and sky that are never stationary and never entirely empty.
