We are surrounded by objects that are charged with emotion.
Our intention for this exhibition is to experiment with images of objects in duality with their actual
form.
Questioning the link between the effigy imagery we commonly give them and the reality of their
function.

エリック・ペルティエはモントリオール出身のビジュアルアーティストで、日本に15年間住んでいます。彼は日本美術のさまざまなテクニックを探求し、それを西洋のグラフィック デザインの知識と対峙させます。こうして、日本の日常生活を詳細に描写した様式化された作品が生まれました。国際展示会での経験を活かし、アーティストとの交流に意欲的に取り組んでいる。彼は国際的なアーティストの間に社会的な架け橋を築くことを熱望していました。
さらに、エリック・ペルティエは人間の活動に目を向け、写真を撮り始めました。古いものの中には、去った後の残響のように、人間の存在が今でも感じられます。エリックの静物画シリーズは、時間の経過とともに失われていく感情を捉えることを目的としています。取り壊されたビルの4階で吸われるタバコの喜びのように、それらの感情は消え去ってしまい、再び味わうことはできません。
Eric Pelletier is a visual artist from Montreal who has been living in Japan for the past fifteen years. He explores different techniques of Japanese art, which he confronts with his western knowledge of graphic design. Thus, stylised works are born, rich in details on the regular Japanese life. He is highly motivated by artist interaction based on his international exhibition experience. He aspired to build a social bridge between international artists.
In addition, Eric Pelletier has taken up photography, his eye close to human activity. The presence of humans can still be felt in old objects, like an echo after their departure. Eric's Still Life series aims to capture those emotions that are lost in time. Like the joy of a cigarette smoked on the fourth floor of a now demolished building, Those emotions are gone and can't be relived again.
