A ROAD TRIP IN NORWAY in 2018 is what sparked Matthieu Rocher’s passion for photography. Upon returning, he bought a professional camera—and has carried it with him ever since.
Rocher remains an avid traveller and has now established himself as a force in the realm of landscape photography. With his home base in Vancouver, he has captured the beauty of several Western Canadian destinations on camera, from the rolling waves of Tofino’s beaches to the impressive scale of the Rockies in Alberta. Having grown up in the suburbs of Paris, Rocher also spends a significant amount of time in his native country, where he’s directed his lens at everything from the historic Petit Minou Lighthouse on a rocky point to the upscale Parisian business district La Défense (above right, featuring dancer Léana Licius).
With his diverse portfolio, Rocher has put together a collection of stunning photos that will take viewers from the Pacific Northwest to Europe. The resulting exhibition, Between Lines and Horizons, will be on view at Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver from January 16 to February 20. Whether showing the beauty of a snow-capped mountain peak or the prowess of an athlete in motion, Rocher’s images exemplify how powerful minimalism can be when a detail, line, or silhouette is isolated.
Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served at the exhibition’s opening reception on January 15.
