“I photograph all the time – it’s a way of being alive and being connected” ✨
Hailing from a strict Catholic Flemish family, Gruyeart’s father saw art as a sin, but by the age of 16 the young artist knew filmmaking and photography were to be his calling in life. Growing up in Belgium, Gruyaert saw life in shades of black and white, until he visited the US in his twenties.
Gruyaert immediately understood that colour could transform the commonplace into an exotic realm, working under a wide array of lighting situations in order to examine and explore the cultural sensibilities of his chosen milieu. In Moscow during the early 80s, the colours were muted, flat, and drained of life, while the colours of Marrakesh were so dazzling, Gruyaert sought out light situations that would keep them from overwhelming the image he made.
