Passing is gentler if it is bathed in light, sickness becomes a work of art, sadness is transformed into pure energy, the driving force of creativity.<\/p>\n<p>France Dubois&#8217; strength lies in her minimalist photographic style which has a powerful aesthetic appeal. The characters in her photographs appear fused with their environment, as if nature has given them the strength to overcome these moments of self-doubt, to reengage, to draw from a source of life, a symbol of rebirth. Weaving a universal story seen from her almost shameless view, France\u2019s photographs thus reflect, honestly and poetically, our own most intimate lives.<\/p>\n<p><i>Her work has been shown in Belgium (Recylart, Hangar Photo Art Center, M\u00e9diatine, Bozar) and abroad : New York Photo Festival, Kaunas Photo Festival (Lithuania), Galerie VU&#8217; (Paris), Itin\u00e9raires des Photographes Voyageurs (Bordeaux \u2013France), Les Photaumnales (Beauvais &#8211; France), Les Transphotographiques (Lille \u2013 France), AIAV (Yamaguchi &#8211; Japon), Photo Art Fair (London &#8211; UK), Fotofabrik BNL-Bxl (Berlin &#8211; Germany), Bleu Star\u00a0Contemporary (San Antonio &#8211; USA).<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France Dubois\u2019s work is akin to poetic and intuitive writing in the form of images.
