Power - International digital exhibition catalog
In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is. Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal? Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal? Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power? Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

About artwork<br />
Citizen of Rouyn-Noranda, I suffer from the current problem of the contamination of<br />
our environment with multiple toxic agents in order to meet the profit needs of a multinational<br />
company. I created a <strong>digital</strong> painting inspired by the myth of the Minotaur and<br />
the vampire (Ghoul). The Ghoul, a predator that can make itself invisible in our midst,<br />
is driven by the satisfaction of its impulses even if it means exhausting all resources.<br />
She has no empathy and considers humans as food. “Goulecore” features the Ghoul,<br />
a terrible and inhuman force, with two chimneys spewing toxic smoke. She enslaved<br />
the Minotaur (the mine) which takes its annual tribute of lives (cancer). The citizens of<br />
Rouyn-Noranda, for their part, respond to the codes of the clone: an instrumentalized<br />
caste closer to cattle or merchandise than to humans and whose rights to health are denied.<br />
“Goulecore” denounces the instrumentalization of the living for profit.<br />
Artist Statement<br />
My artistic practice explores possible futures. My approach combines contemporary<br />
art and science fiction by using a mixture of the familiar and the unusual. I frequently<br />
tackle themes that question what is specific to humanity. Who are we ? What is our relationship<br />
to the Other? My pictorial space often resembles a laboratory dedicated to hybridization.<br />
By combining techniques, materials or ideas, I try to study where humans<br />
come from and where they are going.<br />
