Axel Ruhomaully - Lot 12

Axel Ruhomaully RAFALE wind tunnel mock-up Unique piece from the Dassault Aviation Design Office Photography Limited edition of 350 120 x 80 cm Framed Wind tunnel models are not only works of art, but above all a working tool to provide aerodynamic databases for assessing aircraft performance, flight qualities, engine operation and sizing. Axel Ruhomaully is a Belgian-Mauritian artist. Over the course of his work, his fine art photographs recall the great moments of history through unique shots taken in exceptional places. The artist sculpts these legendary objects with his "Pochoirs de Lumière", his signature light, a "chiaroscuro" technique dear to Rembrandt, with the aim of awakening colors and revealing matter, as in his recent images taken at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Le Bourget (France). Printed on Canson Infinity art paper, for which the artist is World Ambassador, these images invite us to take a real journey through space and time. All these images are all the more special because the artist obtains, for each shot, the exceptional authorizations that enable him to access these treasures, often kept in the reserves of these mythical institutions or in private collections.
