Patrick Larochelle

Artistic Approach

 

My artistic approach explores perceptual dynamics and the cognitive mechanisms of visual interpretation. Without preliminary sketches or predefined subjects, I let myself be guided by the organic evolution of the pictorial material. The image, in constant transformation, directs my gestures and triggers the emergence of evolving forms. Once these figures are detected, I alter, overlap, or dissolve them, disrupting the stabilization of meaning. This process generates a dialogue between perception and interpretation, provoking an oscillation between recognition and abstraction.

The layering of unfinished references engages the viewer, prompting them to seek coherence or a visual resolution. However, the density of the pictorial field and the ambiguity of the forms never allow access to a definitive meaning. The artwork thus functions as a space for mental projection, where the gaze oscillates between expectation and uncertainty, leaving room for an interpretation in continuous reinvention.
