BRUNO DES GAYETS AYRTON SENNA "CONTACT", JULY 1991 HOCKENHEIM, GERMANY Numbered print 10/30 Fine Art print on Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II paper American box frame Atelier Fotodart 40 x 60 cm Gift of the artist For more than forty years, Bruno des Gayets has been scrutinizing the world in a spectrum as broad as politics, gastronomy, industry and motor sports, with F1 at the forefront, while at the same time highlighting its protagonists through portraits in which emotion is palpable, because he knows how to capture the precise moment when a personality reveals itself. His curiosity also drives him to find archive photos gathering dust in boxes, which he unearths all over the world and sets about restoring to their former glory, conveying their original message and paying tribute to their authors. Because beyond the photos, there are the encounters, the people, the stories, the anecdotes, the shared moments that Bruno des Gayets loves, feeding off their energy and restoring them in his work, a richness that is apparent at first glance.
