About the Item

Medium: Archival pigment print under museum acrylic glass. Dimensions: 48 x 48 in. Depth: 1/4 in. Signed by the artist. Edition of 5. Paul-Émile Rioux is a Montreal-based artist and photographer who has been recognized as a pioneer in digital art. His lifelong interest in cutting-edge media technology and his expertise in photography have enabled him to develop virtual matrices from which he extracts his images. Rioux's work explores the intersection of abstraction and the figurative, inviting viewers to question whether what they see is a reflection of reality or imagination. According to White Hot Magazine, Rioux's unique approach makes him one of the most innovative artists in digital creations. He is one of the few creative minds able to blend aesthetic research and critical distance with such keenness. His creations offer a dystopian view of the urban territory, challenging our attitudes towards the environment and the future. Rioux does not aim to meet expectations of what digital art "should" look like, but rather seeks to play with our notions of what is real and what is not. He explores how we remember and how we infer meaning into imaginary visual constructs. Through his work, Rioux invites us to reflect on the relationship between reality and imagination, and to question our perceptions of the world around us. In summary, Paul-Émile Rioux's innovative approach to digital art challenges our perceptions of reality and invites us to reflect on the relationship between the real and the imagined. His work offers a unique perspective on the intersection of abstraction and the figurative, and challenges our attitudes towards the environment and the future. --- Paul-Émile Rioux launched the GEON project in 2017, inspired by the Recognition by Components Theory (Biederman, 1987). According to this theory, Geons are simple shapes, such as cones or spheres, that form the building blocks of object recognition. In the same way that language can be broken down into a set of basic sounds or phonemes, Recognition by Component Theory suggests that the brain breaks down all (or most) objects into a vocabulary of basic shapes in order to foster recognition. In his work, Rioux experiments with shape, representing a new series of square pieces. Each work features a landscape with a floating shape of some sort above it. In some pieces, the shape is a sphere, while in others it is a kind of hollow cube, and in still others, it is something more complex and unnameable. These works continue Rioux's ongoing dialogue with landscape, as well as form and meaning. According to White Hot Magazine, Rioux's unique approach to digital art challenges our perceptions of reality and invites us to reflect on the relationship between the real and the imagined. His creations offer a dystopian view of the urban territory, challenging our attitudes towards the environment and the future. Through his work, Rioux invites us to question our notions of what is real and what is not, and to explore how we remember and infer meaning into imaginary visual constructs. Rioux believes that landscapes and shapes must be constantly created and recreated through the act of viewing and observing, becoming a field of possibilities. Different ways of seeing offer possibilities for reinvention and reframing. Rioux's works confront the viewer with the consequences inherent in their interpretation, challenging their perceptions of reality and imagination. Each archival pigment print is produced under the supervision of the artist. The print is mounted under a single piece of 1/4"/ 6 mm gallery acrylic glass. The back is bounded on a coated Alu-Dibond photography mount panel with an aluminium/cleat hang system.

Révélations 6

By Patrick Beaulieu

Located in Montreal, Quebec

Patrick Beaulieu’s most recent project Révélations uses installation and digital prints to explore how artistic manipulation can create shifts in one’s expectations of the visual experience. Beaulieu clearly acknowledges his artistic presence in the work through mechanical and digital manipulation of the objects and images he presents. He becomes more than a passive observer and recorder of his physical world; the alteration of conventional photographs implants his voice and vision into the work. This approach directly addresses and contrasts artistic practices which seek to conceal the artist’s hand. His method diverges from those that attempt to present an uninterrupted and uncontaminated record, such as some documentary and straight photography. In using these stylized techniques, Beaulieu makes a palpable proclamation regarding the subjective and flexible condition of images. In Révélations, images of trees, moss, leaves and other natural objects are presented in strict colour schemes of muted grays, browns and greens. Though these colours are familiar components of the natural world that we experience in day-to-day life and in photographs of nature...
