About the Item
Informed by microbiology, Laurent Lamarche’s sculptural installations and photographic production look like living unidentified microorganisms. Its narrative is ambiguous, constantly oscillating between a fascination of the infinitely small and the infinitely large, art and science, fiction and reality. In fact, as Lamarche’s creations might first strike as “scientifically accurate”, a second glance casts a doubt as to what we are actually confronted with – the compositions appear somewhat uncanny. Surprise and an additional level of fascination arise when the viewer realizes he is looking at transformed pop bottles and other recuperated mass produced plastic objects.

Laurent Lamarche
Laurent Lamarche's works embody a reflection situated at an intersection between the scientific laboratory, the cabinet of curiosity, and the museum of natural history. Their artistic analysis is rooted in the potential for transformation of matter, objects, and beings, allowing for them to uncover connections between humanity, nature, and instrumentation. One of the artist's primary challenges is exploring the modeling of natural phenomena through the use of ideas and images. They aim to strike a balance between low-tech and high-tech, crafting fictional universes that have a futuristic and technological feel to them. The artworks feature organisms and phenomena that evolve and grow, allowing for a deeper exploration of the porosity of boundaries between art and science, and between nature and artifice. Laurent Lamarche holds a master's degree in visual arts (2012) from the Université du Québec à Montréal. He works in sculpture and photography as well as in installation and multimedia. His works have been presented in group and solo exhibitions in Quebec and abroad. They are part of numerous private and public collections, including those of the Musée national des Beaux-Arts du Québec, the Cirque du Soleil, Loto-Québec, Tourisme Montréal and the University of California at Berkeley. Laurent Lamarche has created more than a dozen public artworks in Quebec, as part of the Politique d'intégration de l'art à l'architecture.

- Atlantic 68908, Seascape Fine Art Photography, Mounted in PlexiglassBy John DuckworthLocated in Armonk, NYAtlantic is a fine art seascape photograph that is mounted in plexiglass. This photograph is shown in its original state as taken and was not digitally manipulated in post. Atlantic 34" x 72" Seascape Fine Art Photography Mounted in Plexiglass Best described as paintings from a camera, John Duckworth’s Landscape Abstracts evoke the sea, forest, marsh, and sky in rich bands of saturated color. This body of work captures the essence and natural beauty of the region, where vibrant colors flow through the landscape as subtly as the southern seasons flow into each other. The humid summers bring brilliant green marshlands and graceful, fast-moving thunderstorms of purple and gray, while colder months deliver warmer, gentler tones and calm, serene sunsets. At every glance these photographs transport you through their colors - each image telling a unique story of the horizon through both aesthetic and process. The Landscape Abstract series is a combination of three of John’s loves: creative process, nature, and bicycles. Almost all of these images were created during regular bike rides throughout the region. Intended to reveal a memory more than an exact record, the series is part of John’s ongoing meditation with nature. Certain images appear to subtly move when given ample time to sit quietly before them. John Duckworth’s works transcend the line between realism and abstraction. His photographs are infused with an intimate knowledge of nature, a passion for pure color, and a rhythm drawn from life itself. His trademark style involves abstracting the photographic image to lend the work a much lauded painterly appearance. By providing the viewer a sense of place, yet obscuring the details, he allows each individual to step into the image and bring forth their own visual history. The ensuing narrative is enriched through the power of memory, infusing a personal creative process with universal appeal. Duckworth's art imparts a calming, meditative and contemplative quality intended to elicit a deeper consideration of ourselves and our environment. He is most well known for his quietly abstract landscape photography of the Southeast coast, wherein the images read as luminous, rhythmic color field paintings. More recently his work has become immersive multimedia experiences involving video, music, performance, painting, and photography. More recently, his long-standing meditation practice inspired a new body of work culminating in an exhibition entitled "AWAKE" - an immersive multimedia experience guiding each visitor through eight sequential rooms and over 90 original works of art, while wearing wireless headsets playing ambient audio composed for each room. This work is multi-layered and diverse, including photography, painting, screen-printing, airbrush, spray paint, audio, video, design and performance. “I wanted the exhibition to be alive - as I sat in meditation 2-5 hours a day for two months I was changing, transforming myself as part of the process.” John Duckworth lives and works in Johns Island...Category
