Etienne Labbe
Through The Wetlands - contemporary, abstracted landscape, photography on dibond

2015

About the Item

Long dark grasses and cattails form a patterned lattice through which the fall sky pushes through. This atmospheric photograph that captures the essence of a wetland is created in two pieces. Labbé's beautiful compositions experiment with the interaction between the camera, movement and time. Captured through the window of a moving vehicle using a low shutter speed to blur the patterns and colours of subjects, the image is further abstracted by digital manipulation. “Rather than using photography as a medium of documentation, I prefer experimenting with its creative possibilities and its ability to distort our perception of time and space." Etienne Labbé Labbe's large-format chromogenic prints are on archival paper, mounted on a dibond (an aluminum composite panel) and faced cleanly with plexiglas. A stainless steel channel is mounted to the work on the back for easy installation. Each print is unique. Labbe only makes 3 variations (cropped in different proportions) from each photograph. Québec born Etienne Labbé trained as a molecular biologist in Montréal and Toronto. As an artist, he has worked in several mediums – sculpture, watercolour, mixed media and photography. His work consists of rapidly shifting scale, colour, light and mood explorations. Movement is a creative and transformative force by which ordinary landscapes are altered. Labbé’s work is held in several private collections across Canada.

About Anne Valverde: Parisian photographer fascinated by urban spaces and graphism of landscapes. She notably tries to make dream about people by photographs of idyllic decors. In her job, she links calligraphy and light, her two main passions. After digital processing, high-resolution prints are exclusively developed on silver paper.
