This work was part of a research done in 2017 that led up to a new series of paintings, it was exhibited at NADA NYC in 2017.
The work of Luc Paradis moves in and out of various media at a rhythmic and steady pace. This multifaceted practice includes painting, sculpture and drawing. Collage serves as a guiding principle, appearing both independently as individual works and as the preface to the assemblage and installation of the various elements of his oeuvre. Paradis’ interest in collage suggests the Bauhausian axiom of the total work of art - where design, craft and fine art meet and the distinctions between various creative endeavors are blurred.
