INTRODUCTION YellowKorner was created in 2006 by two friends, Alexandre de Metz and Paul-Antoine Briat, both passionate about photography since childhood. From this encounter came an idea and an ambition: to make art photography accessible for all and YellowKorner the leading publisher of art photography. YellowKorner wishes to provide an outlet for expression for talents from various movements in photography. The only requirement is a truly artistic approach. Contemporary artists thus rub shoulders with the great names in photography (Eugène Atget, Man Ray, Jean Dieuzaide, Slim Aarons, Matthieu Ricard, or Yann Arthus-Bertrand), or period photographers (Kusakabe Kimbei, Nadar, or Léon Gimpel). So YellowKorner is a place where the great talents of yesterday, today, and tomorrow meet. Under the aegis of the founders, an art committee comprising a dozen experts selects YellowKorner photographs. Each member of this committee is an expert in a specific photography movement, ranging from 1880 to the present day. As talent scouts, they are also in charge of selecting the most gifted young international hopefuls of their generation in the field of art photography. A number of these artists, who were once yesterday’s hopefuls, are now ranked among the most acclaimed photographers of today. YellowKorner was thus able to showcase the likes of Laurent Baheux, Formento+Formento, or Lee Jeffries, early in their careers.
THE DESIGNERS
XARIS APERGI (JEWELLERY DESIGNER) INTRODUCTION Xaris Apergi studied Architecture and Engineering at the Metsovion Polytechnic ( National Technical University of Athens ), and has worked as a freelance architect, specializing in renovation of classical buildings. She also studied marble carving at the Jean Francois atelier of sculpture in Paris, and the renown Filippotes marble workshop in Vrilissia, Attica. She has also learned moulding and classical figurative sculpture at the Armakolas workshop in Varnava, Attica. Xaris Apergi speaks fluently English and French, has studied piano, ballet, and has a degree in flamenco dance ( Sociedad de Baile Español ).Xaris loves poetry, classical music and dance, and currently lives and creates her unique pieces of Art, in Plaka, next to the ancient Agora of Athens. Her work is inspired by her love for geometry of the ancient Greek temples and in particular, the mathematical aesthetic concept of the Golden Ratio, by the divine beauty of Nature, and the etymology of the magnificent ancient Greek language. Just as her work as an architect, she combines classical and modern elements, juxtaposing solid versus void spaces, thus creating harmonious objects characterized by voluminous weightlessness gracefully adorning the human body. All her collections are being produced in Greece by top experts of the field, and are made using precious metals and gemstones, combining ancient techniques with the latest computer technology. Her work delivers the God from within, attracting as a magnet the positive content of the human soul, in an ascent to the divine.
