Summary
- Montreal-based painter Dre Wilkin showcases inverted paintings that blend figuration and abstraction
- The exhibition ‘When the Air is Blue‘ touches on moments of focus and stillness
Recently, the Foil Gallery in Montreal showcased the art of up-and-coming contemporary painter, Dre Wilkin. Titled “When the Air is Blue“, the exhibit displayed a daring collection of flipped images depicting common everyday settings.
The artwork collection provides glimpses into the artist’s personal life, often featuring intimate interactions with pets or acquaintances during significant moments of concentration or tranquility. Unlike traditional showmanship, the technique of inversion serves to delve deeper into the themes presented, offering fresh perspectives and emotional depth that resonate throughout the artwork.
This series initially serves as a means to disrupt established habits, exploring the play of light and shadow from an unexpected perspective. Each piece is constructed reversely, urging viewers to adapt their viewing habits. The figures, depicted in moments of solitude or deep concentration, are rendered through the lens of memory, light, and distortion. Much like twilight – when the air takes on a bluish hue and objects lose their sharp edges – these works inhabit a realm that is neither here nor there.
