Drawing on his background in the fashion and beauty industry, Blanchet infuses his images with a unique sensibility that combines edginess and emotion with a softness and elegance that is all his own.

Statement

"Nicolas’ pictures come straight from his dreams, the kind of dreams where all the sounds are muffled, and the emotions contained.  The shapes are pulled and stretched and all the details scraped away by light.  The beauty of the images is blinding and their mystery inevitably pulls you into a wonderful world inhabited by ghosts, twisted memories and fashionable monsters."

"Nicolas plays in Wonderland and his invitation to join him is irrestible."
