Pistes et Points

 Pistes et Points addresses the chaotic, even illogical, dimensions of today’s visual language, in which images and ideas often collide in the digital-analogue world.  Pattern and excerpts from popular culture are superimposed onto oil painting and photographic imagery.  What appears to be the image on the surface and what lies below this surface often exist in tension and absurd juxtaposition.  The seeming abstraction and beauty of these images veil or mask layers below the painted surface, much in the way we ‘gloss over’ or ‘make light’ of issues or memories.
