"Hervé Perdriel is a virtual painter because, for him, photography is above all a material, the means of a pictorial plastic work, defined more as a work on images than as a photographic work as such.

By decadding, reframing, cutting and recomposing, by modifying scales and tones, by juxtaposing the images, he imposes another photographic language, whose vocabulary is that of painting: composition, form, color, pattern, but also abstraction or narration. In this perspective, the man, far from the traditional imagery, is made infinite deposit of images, in which he draws in a always unpredictable, unusual way, the materials that he appropriates to create a kind of infra- colorful reality, fragmented, labyrinthine, elusive.
