With Plein Soleil, Jessica Backhaus explores the photographic possibilities of abstraction. It must be acknowledged that Jessica Backhaus is a talented colorist. In Plein Soleil, she presents a stunning visual symphony where the compositional interplay of color, surface, and form reigns supreme. The images, using a complex visual language, are even more radical and uncompromising than those in the previous project. Through minimalist compilations of reality’s set pieces, she crafts images that transcend the ordinary, transporting viewers into vibrant, luminous worlds full of life energy.
