Intro Bio Exhibitions Interview Video
Beatrice Hug’s abstract photographs have entirely “real” origins. They are coloured glasses and liquids arranged as spatial still lifes: installations with labyrinthine and translucent textures. With her medium format camera, a Pentax 6x7, the artist captures the interplay between the light and the particularly thrilling waves of colour that take form in the sun’s rays. With a shallow depth of field and varied exposure times, she creates images reminiscent of abstract and expressionistic paintings. The energy of colours is my true passion.

What appears to be a heartbeat emanates from the abstract color rings of Beatrice Hug’s PULSE series: An effect created through the skillful use of blurring. The longer you look at the picture, the softer it appears. Stepping to the side, an even stranger transformation takes place. What was once pink now appears green and the inner circle turns a shade of blue. This unique sensory effect is created using the lenticular technique. Miniscule lenses refract light to produce new colors, perfectly complementing the Parisian photographer's artistic style and her focus on stained glass, light reflections, and colored liquids.
View on Colour / Lumières Vives
In her work, Beatrice Hug leads us into the world of dreams. Fantasies become sensory experiences. A photographer who also studied painting, Hug understands colours as energy, as the expression of an emotion. View on Colour is not just a look into one artist’s colourful universe; it is a glimpse of something entirely new. In her series Lumières Vives as well, Hug vividly shows how colours come to life in the light.
Hug creates translucent images, in which the sun makes certain colours shine. Her photographs reveal brightly coloured sections of these compositions which affect the viewer in an extraordinary way. Beatrice Hug knows which colours bring out the particularly powerful feelings and energies inside of us. Her intensely colourful work lets us drift along in pursuit of our emotions and memories.
Beatrice hug was born in 1961 in Singen, near the southern German border. Due to her proximity to the border triangle, she was more or less destined to develop a love of France.
A few years after studying painting and photography in Aachen, she made Paris her new home. She still lives as a freelance artist in the French capital.
