James with Two White Curtains
2011
Though a professional photographer, Richard Learoyd only started exhibiting his artistic work in 2007. In 2012, his much-acclaimed participation in "Seduced by Art: Photography Past and Present" at the National Gallery in London gave him further visibility. London's Victoria and Albert Museum is preparing a major exhibition of his work in 2016. The singularity of his work is due both to his subjects (portraits of men and women, often nude, and still lifes), and to the fact that he only makes one print of each photograph. This deliberate choice constitutes a mise en abîme of the very technique of photography, where the negative precisely makes it possible to produce multiple prints
