- Artwork description
- Based on black and white photographs taken by the artist, Boîtes no 9 is from a series of 14 paintings that depict precariously piled, empty boxes of photo paper. Richard-Max Tremblay plays with the relationship between photography and painting by working through zones of light, modulating forms from a palette of bluish greys against a black background. The apparent emptiness of the objects gains a richness of meaning because it paradoxically allows the mind to elaborate on a number of interpretations. Through their emptiness, the boxes evoke what is hidden, enigmatic and mysterious.
