edition 1/6

This series consists of regular, repetitive patterns formed by simple geometric shapes, with a soft shading to highlight the structural qualities of the compositions.

A layer of light is applied to the surface of the print, creating shadows and bringing depth to the flat print, extruding volumes, turning negative shapes into three dimensional objects.

The motif series are the continuation of Joanie’ light canvas series, focusing mostly on optical illusions and showing how the audience perception can be deceived, which questions the very nature of perception and the notion of reality. These works are inspired by the body of work of Victor Vasarely and the research on OP art from the GRAV.

Tesselate is a scalable and adaptable piece, also part of the Wall drawing series.

It shows a polygonal shape using the anamorphosis “hot spot” to give the public the impression it is coming out of the wall / building.

The geometric volume comes to life thanks to a quiet and ambiant projection loop.

This piece is part of the Wall drawing series, installations where a visual is drawn directly onto the wall and augmented with a layer of projected light and ambient sound.

The visual is composed of straight lines, and repetitive patterns that represents structure of landscapes, rocks, planets, caves, …

It is made out of simple patterns, moiré, tessellated patterns.

It plays with light, depth and visual perception, this series is strongly Inspired by Sol Lewitt’s wall drawings.

In his new plotter drawing series, Joanie explores the capacities of a drawing machine. Creating visuals with repetitive patterns, complex and detailed compositions, the use of a robot will reveal mechanical glitches coming from the machine, wear and ink glitches coming from the pen, crashes and unfinished lines coming from the custom software.

The drawings are not perfect and so original shapes emerge from artefacts.

Lemercier’s obsession in representing natural lanscapes was held down by current computers ability to model reality: the inner structure of clouds being one of the most challenging to recreate with software, many of his attempts to represent skies with digital tools fell flat.

During a flight above the Alps, the artist captured real clouds with ideal lighting conditions, and used a “weighted Voronoï ” algorithm to transform them into a monochrome screen-print. The reduced amount of dots gives a sense of volume, transparency and particles density that our computer models would fail to preserve.
