(FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS)

Shot on location in Montana, USA, West transcends mere wildlife photography to become a profound reflection on resilience, identity, and the duality of history through a unique style of contemporary portraiture.

West’s visual style for American West is rooted in reductionist aesthetics and stark silhouettes. The American Bison looms out of shadow, its form sculpted by an almost reverential interplay of light and darkness. This deliberate minimalism strips away distractions, forcing an intense and symmetrical confrontation with the subject. These works are not portraits. They are encounters.

The Bison’s story is inextricably tied to the American narrative—a cornerstone of Indigenous cultures and a victim of colonial expansion. Once driven to the brink of extinction, it has become an emblem of survival, conservation, and the strength of collective will. Revered for its towering stature and raw power, the Bison has long stood as a symbol of fortitude and resilience, embodying the spirit of the untamed West. Each photograph captures its commanding presence with immense detail and West’s signature style.

The bison’s story is America’s story: brutal, conflicted, and alive with the possibility of redemption.

FRANÇAIS

Tourné sur place dans le Montana, aux États-Unis, West transcende la simple photographie de la faune pour devenir une réflexion profonde sur la résilience, l'identité et la dualité de l'histoire à travers un style unique de portrait contemporain.

Pour American West, l’artiste oriente son style vers une esthétique minimaliste et des silhouettes saisissantes. Le bison américain émerge de l'ombre, sa forme sculptée par une interaction complexe entre la lumière et l'obscurité. Cette sobriété délibérée élimine les distractions, forçant une confrontation intense et symétrique avec le sujet. Ces œuvres ne sont pas des portraits. Ce sont des rencontres.

L'histoire du bison est inextricablement liée au récit américain — un pilier des cultures autochtones et une victime de l'expansion coloniale. Autrefois poussé à l'extinction, il est devenu un emblème de survie, de conservation et de la force de la volonté collective. Vénéré pour sa stature imposante et sa puissance brute, le bison a longtemps été un symbole de force et de résilience, incarnant l'esprit de l'Ouest sauvage. Chaque photographie capture sa présence dominante avec un immense détail et le style signature de West.

L'histoire du bison est l'histoire de l'Amérique : brutale, conflictuelle, et vivante avec la possibilité de rédemption.
