Plein Soleil: Abstract Photography of Colour, Light, and Form

In Plein Soleil, acclaimed photographer Jessica Backhaus continues her artistic evolution into the world of abstraction, presenting a bold and captivating collection of images that explore the relationship between colour, surface, light, and form.

Following her earlier series featured in A Trilogy (2017) and the groundbreaking project Cut Outs (2021), Backhaus moves even further away from traditional mimetic photography. This new body of work represents a striking creative phase where minimalist compositions transform simple materials into powerful visual experiences.

Using coloured paper shapes, textured surfaces, and natural sunlight, Backhaus constructs vibrant scenes where light and shadow interact in mesmerizing ways. Through carefully arranged rectangular and square forms, the photographs blur the line between reality and abstraction, creating luminous images that radiate energy and depth.

With its complex visual language and uncompromising artistic approach, Plein Soleil invites viewers to immerse themselves in a poetic exploration of colour and composition.
