About the artist

Marc Lagrange was a Belgian photographer who was born in Kinshasa (Congo) in 1957, he died in Tenerife on 25 December 2015. After ending his engineering career in the nineties, Lagrange devoted himself entirely to photography.

He turned out to be one of the most celebrated photographers in Europe. His high-resolution photographs of women are influenced by surrealism and cinema. The women in Lagrange’s work are mysterious, powerful and confident.

Inspired by Helmut Newton and particularly Peter Lindbergh, many of his pictures reflect an erotic character without being explicit. Lagrange always preferred analog to digital, in order to search for intimacy and emotion, instead of artificial effects.

He has had various exhibitions in Europe and the United States. In 2015, a selection of Lagrange’s works was shown at the TEFAF art fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
