Steve Drevet

Steve Drevet, born in 1974, is a self-taught artist, photographer, and reporter. In 2010, he began photographing archaeological objects for museums and foundations: statuettes, dolls, masks, from the primitive art of the Americas (Navajo, Hopi, Chancay art) and produced several exhibition catalogs in collaboration with the artist and collector Claude Parent-Saura.
In 2013, they worked on The Island of Shamans, a photographic narrative that would be presented for the first time at the Visa pour l'image festival in Perpignan and at the Collège de France in art anthropology. The year 2016 saw the birth of The Indecisive Moment in collaboration with the artist Romaric Mandelblat. The history of art and painting are invited into compositions centered around still life. This work, honored by numerous private and museum exhibitions (Terrus Museum, Museum of the Master of Cabestany) and publications in the press, focuses on the viewer's gaze at the confusion between painting and photography. The series Creatures is a branch of this. In 2022, he experimented with Chinese ink on Arches paper. This marks the beginning of the series "Ink and Gold." Most of the drawings are made during his hikes and are enhanced with a gold glitter that he finds in certain rivers during his gold panning sessions.
