Luc Fournier

Originally a creator in culinary art for a period of over twenty years, Luc Fournier, the artist, is also a lover of nature and music. It is by observing the color gradations, the forms, the textures and the nuances, while working with chocolate, that he discovered a special interest for painting. He learned, through the years, to manipulate materials with a spatula knife with ease and enjoyment.

In his early childhood, an unfortunate accident to one eye resulted in the loss of a large percentage of his sight. Hereafter, he discovered a new way to see the world. In the twinkle of an eye, his sight dramatically changed to a more abstract perspective.

The originality of Luc Fournier’s statement holds in the fact that he orchestrates together materials, colors, texture and music on a horizontal modular line that serves as an axis to transpose a sonorous world to a suggestive visual world. The whole explodes in abstractions constructed with a spatula from a horizontal line created by multiple, very textured, vertical lines that evoke electromagnetic curves reproduced without perspective.

His challenge: to unveil the secrets of this abstraction, the under side of the layers of spontaneous verticals; to the suggestion of signs and words.

His pleasure: to push the limits of the non figurative; to suggest sometimes urban, human and even elements of vegetation in his compositions.

Everyone can immerse themselves in the work of Luc Fournier, between the lines and shapes, to search for a signification, a vision, or a frequency…
