Biography

Alain Dahan is a Montreal-based visual artist, photographer, filmmaker, and musician with over 20 years of experience in cinema and photography. In 2012, he began exploring digital photography as a creative medium, developing a distinctive style that combines technical craft with intuition and experimentation. His work often explores contrasts between the old and the new, blending classical inspiration with contemporary digital techniques.

Dahan’s exhibitions include Take 2.0 at Gallery 203 in Montreal and Naked Silver, which has been shown in Montreal and at Art Fusion Galleries in Miami’s Wynwood Art District. His work has also appeared on ArtBomb Canada and in exhibitions such as Masterpieces for MADA, Automobilart, and Tom’s Shoes for Art. He has collaborated professionally with artists including James Franco, Halle Berry, and Angelina Jolie.

His series Naked Silver, inspired by Renoir and Rodin, features luminous nude photographs printed with black ink on metal, creating a striking, contemporary effect. The project was also conceived as a tribute to his late friend and mentor, photographer Karl Phillip Duarte.
