BORN TO SHOOT THE WORLD AROUND ME
Manu Grinspan (° 1972) is a Belgian artist living in Israel for twenty years. Photorealistic drawing marked the beginning of his career as a visual artist and over the last fourteen years photography has become his preferred medium. His love of nature will lead him to outdoor photography, where light takes a fully-fledged place. Thanks to his unique way of treating the landscape, he will be awarded in 2015 with the title of Official Photographer of Parks and Nature Reserves of Israel.
Today, Manu Grinspan pursues his photographic work in which, alongside natural landscapes, we may see more and more night atmospheres seized in urban spaces. Through his images, the artist changes our perspective on common environments, suddenly transformed into objects of contemplation by the play of light and color.
With his new series, 1STREET PROJECT, Manu Grinspan highlights city charm by capturing the iconic streets of major cities. He seeks to display atmospheres and fleeting feelings, as suspended in the air of big cities. These special atmospheres we are unable to shake off, which form the soul of a city by intermingling with its architecture and climate. His photographs are a true celebration of the richness and diversity of urban life.
