40 Automobile Encounters 2005-2009

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Marc Demoulin

I’ve always loved cars,…not for the pleasure of driving them, but I’ve always loved them
for what they represent: desire, liberty, independence. Their contours, their colours have
always fascinated me. When I was a kid, I used to count them by make and model; I learnt to identify them with ease…
I was overcome by awe for some and for the unfortunate ones
I judged ugly, I showed no mercy.
Cars have always been for me one of
the most beautiful expressions of art, so choosing them as my muse for my graphical
quest seemed natural to me, a kind of logical continuation.

Often people say to me, ‘“Well yes, not bad but why don’t you show us the whole car?”
And I always reply, “My aim is not to show an ‘objet d’art’ which I admire in
its entirety; this would be pure plagiarism! My aim is to use this object,
the best part of this object which I so admire and give it a new perspective
in a new setting and thus give life to a new graphical creation”. My only goal
is to try to ignite the emotion sparked by this object by attempting to glorify
it…because from beauty springs emotion.

This book is composed of a selection of car pictures which I’ve taken
between January 2005 and January 2009. There will undoubtedly be more
to come as this is a true labour of love… and I love cars more than ever.
Paris, February 2009
