Ronan Merot has no interest in the concrete, in tangible reality. Because of his experience as a commercial photographer, when Merot gazes at a landscape or a motif, he already has an idea in mind: transform what he has seen and express his imagination without letting on how it's done. His personal work consists of environmental scenes that have been completely retouched, that seem possible and natural at the same time as they transport the viewer into a universe of science fiction and comic strips. Claiming the perspective of childhood, he searches less for symbolic representations than an esthetic, a poetry dispensing with all constraints of meaning.
