From 15 November to 20 December 2025, Galerie Porte B (Paris 10th) presents Impressionism, Resonances, a solo show where colour, blur, and movement shift photography toward a pictorial sensation. Public opening on 15 November (4–9 pm).
Photography that feels before it describes
In this exhibition, Jonathan Bertin explores the impressionist legacy without pastiche. The compositions remain legible (chromatic masses, supple lines), yet the artist embraces an oscillation between photography and painting: motion blur, textures, and overlays bring the image to life through vibration rather than contour. The eye gropes, then settles into a cadence—the cadence of an instant that lasts. Rooted in Normandy (2023–2024), the project revisits emblematic sites of impressionism to capture everyday scenes, landscapes, and watery reflections, aiming to “give movement back to photography.”

Resonances : from Normandy to Seoul
The cycle opens onto a new topography with Seoul Impressionism, shown for the first time in this solo show: an urban, vibrant series paced by speed and colour planes. The city becomes a laboratory of flows—streaked silhouettes, neon sheets, circulating lines of sight. The visual vocabulary carried over from Normandy’s landscapes accelerates without disowning itself, meeting other lights and densities.
A recognised trajectory
In October 2025, Bertin’s works entered the Fondation Hermès contemporary photography collection—a milestone that underscores the singularity of a practice at “the crossroads” of art, image, and digital culture. The Paris solo show marks a hinge moment where homage, reinterpretation, and emancipation converge.
Why go
- Reactivate impressionism in the age of moving images: colour thinks form; blur sculpts time.
- Experience perception itself: the artist “disorients without losing,” leaving room for your own intimate resonance.
- Discover “Seoul Impressionism”: its first gallery presentation, extending the cycle into the city.
