About the Item
Archival photo print under acrylic glass.
Dimensions: 36 x 72 in.
Depth: 1/4 in.
Artist and photographer Paul-Émile Rioux lives in Montréal, Canada.
His lifelong interest in cutting-edge media technology as well as his expertise in photography cast him as pioneer in digital art and allow him to develop virtual matrix from which he extracts his images.
In his works he explores a universe that lies at the crossroad of abstraction and the figurative, inviting the viewer to determine if what he sees is a reflection of reality or imagination.
Through is truly unique approach RIOUX is one of the most innovative artists in digital creations and one of the few creative minds able to blend with such keenness aesthetics research and critical distance.
Whether they translate into a Dantesque urbanity or the infinite horizon of a turquoise ocean, the urban territory reflected by his creations offers a dystopian view of the world, challenging our attitude towards the environment and the future.
From the onset, RIOUX has no intention of matching IRL expectations of what digital art 'should' look like, but strives to play with our notions of what's real, what's not, how we remember, and how we infer meaning into imaginary visual constructs.

RIOUX started the Turquoise project in 2013
Turquoise Default is a series by Paul-Emile Rioux. It was in a preliminary stage, part of a practice which is unfolding in both the sense of experimentation as well as a planned unveiling of stages – transformation. This series comprises both video and still images. Regardless of format, each work is made up of three layers. Each layer is distinct and yet interrelated. This is perhaps most evident in the videos. The top layers, representing something like sky, move slowly; the mid layers, representing something like ocean, move rapidly; the bottom layers, representing something like a submerged world, transform, hidden from view below a fluid surface.
Turquoise default plays on elemental notions. Water as a source of forgetting, erasing: it dissolves traces, it erodes, it serves as a dumping ground. Whatever is thrown in sinks below the surface, out of memory, our fears allayed by its pristine surface, which provides us with a sense of permanence and stability precisely because of its fluid properties – by its seeming ability to fill every hole. Of course water can only hide so much. Transformations take place in its depths, the ocean can absorb only so much waste before it all comes back, giving us a world irredeemably altered. ” Neal Rockwell “
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.
