Created specifically for the bike path project : La Piste cyclable en œuvres, the project Éléments : entre ciel et terre is a photographic composition of natural textures coming from the original image bank of the artist shoot in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. The project is a research on the structures present in the natural environment. Different soils, one on top of the other, illustrate geological stratums of the earth that progress from underneath and up to the sky. The elements photographed are integrated for their diversity of textures and colors. It is an opportunity for the artist to present an original and recent artwork specifically developped for the project. A way to root himself to the artistic community where he recently moved.

About nouvelle terre…

When we take the time to have a closer look at nature, she’s proposing an impressive visual diversity. Soil is not only brown and dirty, it’s also a color palette of infinite shades.

— P.C.

The Maison Trestler gallery is hosting nouvelle terre art show that organize itself under four main themes, the earth: study, localised, observed and sampled. The exhibition is an opportunity for Philippe to present is new production. His multidisciplinary approach is inspire by the beauty of naturals habitats. By his various compositions and techniques, the artist try to reinvent the notion of landscape. The artworks presented are the result of his research and discoveries from the naturals beauty of Vaudreuil-Soulanges region, his new hometown, where he esthablished himself.

Last Wednesday during a 5 to 7 at Maison Trestler, I received, from the hand of the MRC and the Desjardins bank of Vaudreuil-Soulanges, a 1500 $ bursary in the Research and creation category for my project Champs de vision. 16 artists et organisation received a total of 55 000 $ subventions.

« Champs de vision »  is an opportunity to prepare a new artistic production for 2010. This project will diversify my production by the exploration of collage on big format, and also the elaboration of an installation using a video projector. The subject of this project is the fields of the region of Vaudreuil-Soulanges that are transformed by the pressure of the economic development.

This bursary will also help created a show to present the result of this research.
