Artist Spotlight: François Quévillon

03 May, 2021

Artist Spotlight: François Quévillon

The interdisciplinary art practice of François Quévillon investigates how technology affects or redefines human cognition, culture, the environment, and our relationships to space, to time, and to one another. His work addresses planetary changes as well as those affecting contemporary media. 

Often what the viewer sees in Quévillon's compositions seems uncanny or alien -- yet somehow still recognizable as being part of "our world". These machine-rendered 'ways of seeing' reflect our environment and experiences back to us while reminding us that our familiar, human-centred construct of time and space is but one way of processing reality.

Barbara Alper: In Conversation - Vintage Prints

Barbara Alper’s long career as a photojournalist, street photographer, and fine art photographer is well-represented in our selection of items available through our partnership with Getty Images Gallery. Now, Barbara is opening her personal photo archive to offer collectors access to a selection of vintage prints.

Barbara and I got together via Zoom to talk about her art practice and some favourite pictures from her archives. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ve broken up into two elements; a 15-minute video tour of vintage prints conducted by Barbara from her studio in New York City, followed by additional transcribed commentary from Barbara outlining aspects of her life and career.

In Conversation: Lynne Heller

Still Newfoundland is the latest project by artist Lynne Heller, and the first series of works by Heller offered to collectors exclusively via FFOTO. Heller’s post-disciplinary art practice melds creative pursuits that are not automatically thought of as being complementary. Always creatively expressive, a persistent injury prompted Heller to pivot from a career as a dancer into the visual arts. While making art, she completed an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by a PhD focused on feminist practice in online culture at University College, Dublin...

In Conversation: Assembly co-founders Ashlyn Davis Burns and Shane Lavalette

Early in the new year, my colleague Shane Lavalette called to talk to me about Assembly, a new lens-centric venture that curator Ashlyn Davis Burns and he developed during the institutional lockdowns of 2020. Shane outlined a concept for a company that will holistically nurture artists and their practices - as an exhibition venue, agency, and creative studio - while identifying and cultivating opportunities for collaborations with a global network of creatives. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that Shane had my complete attention...

In Conversation: Chris Thomaidis

We welcomed Chris Thomaidis to our roster of FFOTO Exclusive artists after discovering his refined artistic sensibility and ongoing curiosity for where the camera might lead him. His successful career as a commercial photographer complemented a dedicated, parallel fine-art practice that he has come to make his creative priority in recent years. I met with Chris (via Zoom, of course) to talk about his art practice. We covered a lot of territory – from discussing how Chris found his way to becoming an artist, his time as a commercial photographer and how that honed his observational skills, artistic inspirations, and more...
