Todd Arsenault

Galeria Fucares, Madrid

Artist works with painting, drawing, computer manipulated images and video. He employs a deconstructive approach to his work, digitally dismantling and reinventing images - from photography, video, found images, and drawings -to create abstract and fractured environments. The reconstruction of disparate forms of visual information is a common theme in the work.


comunicato stampa

Arsenault works with painting, drawing, computer manipulated images and video. He employs a deconstructive approach to his work, digitally dismantling and reinventing images—from photography, video, found images, and drawings—to create abstract and fractured environments. The reconstruction of disparate forms of visual information is a common theme in the work.

Through the merger of digital technology and traditional modes of painting, Arsenault creates a polemic that resonates in a series of images that result in a fusion of worlds that span genre and time. By using the computer to restructure the image he creates an ambiguous sense of time, making it difficult to discern whether objects are coming together or breaking apart. Painting and drawing become the common language that binds the information together.

Arsenault is compelled by both the destructive and constructive power of natural phenomenon. He experiments with technological restructuring to draw out the contested battle between man and nature, Arsenault simultaneously allows for nature to destroy the manmade and to restore nature unto itself.

The exhibition will feature new paintings and drawings, both of which come from a process that deals with the translation of digital information to paper and canvas. The translation, may, at times, stay true to the original study. Most often it is a starting point for a tactile process that takes place in the studio.

Arsenault received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003; He lives and works in New York City and Carlisle, PA where he is Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Dickinson College.
