Jean-Daniel Lorieux in the Summer Salon 2026
Matney Gallery is pleased to present photographs by Jean-Daniel Lorieux as part of the Summer Salon.
One of France's most celebrated photographers, Lorieux is known for creating iconic images that blend fashion, travel, and landscape into a distinctive visual language. Working throughout the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Africa, and beyond, he developed a body of work recognized for its luminous light, vibrant color, and sense of freedom. While his photographs appeared in leading international publications and luxury campaigns, they also stand as enduring studies of beauty, atmosphere, and place.
Lorieux's photographs capture a world of elegance and possibility, where landscape becomes more than a backdrop and light becomes an active participant in the image. Decades after their creation, these works continue to resonate with collectors and audiences drawn to photography's ability to transform fleeting moments into timeless experiences.
The Summer Salon offers an opportunity to experience Lorieux's celebrated vision and his lasting contribution to contemporary photography.

Chanel No. 5 (Mixed Media and Silkscreen)
Inspired by a meeting with Andy Warhol, this mixed media and silkscreen work demonstrates Jean-Daniel Lorieux's interest in the intersection of fashion, art, and popular culture. Using the iconic Chanel No. 5 bottle as his subject, Lorieux reimagines a symbol of twentieth-century luxury through layered color, graphic form, and painterly intervention, bridging the worlds of photography, Pop Art, and contemporary image culture.
