From May 2nd to July 31rst 2024

For his new exhibition "Regards" the gallery Patrick Gutknecht is proud to present twenty seven photographs by Denis Asch (the majority of which are unpublished); these photographs were taken during several trips in South Africa and Kenya.
The photographs dialog with chosen decorative art pieces from 1920 to 1970.
Denis Asch was born in Alsace in 1959. Watchmaker and wildlife photographer, an atypical nevertheless complementary combination, these two passions have always driven him. Patience, perseverance and research of technical challenge accompany him in his job as a watchmaker as well as for the photography of wild animals. There are also these childhood dreams that he realizes through these safaris; the photography allows him to inscribe a memory and to live the emotion of the moment again. In the Bush the animals leave the photographer only very little time to catch the right moment and it's this reactivity as well as the chance to be there in the right moment and in the right place that makes the wildlife photography so exciting.
