I take pictures with my camera and also my eyes are also "shooting". From time to time on quiet nights, the shot scenes emerge in the mind. Different times, different places and different people are intermingled with each other. This disorder makes me feel harmonious and peaceful, which seems to be an essential and deep “beauty”. From my own and others, I have seen too many complexities and contradictions in human nature. There is no straight road in our world. People always come and go with hope and bend around. The so-called correctness is only a relative statement at a certain time and in a certain situation. "Misplacement" is a normal state. Reaction made is only a momentary decision of the human brain. "Wrong" could be "right", “right” could also be "wrong". In front of conflicts and crises, pessimists are desperate, and optimists have hope.

Walking Libraries 

An action, a glace, or a gust of wind, My artistic focus revolves around capturing the intersection of humanity, landscapes, and everyday life from a documentary perspective. I find enjoyment in capturing memories that are not mine. In this perpetual state of vigilance, I am everywhere and nowhere, witnessing the ephemerality of existence without pause. Through my art, I seek to preserve these fleeting moments that endure beyond the confines of time and memory. I transcend the boundaries of individuality to become a conduit for collective experience. I am both present and absent, intimately close yet distant, as I capture the impermanent nuances of life through the lens of my camera, video, and installation.

I am so close to everything I have ever wanted

"Distinguished" explores the themes of resilience and beauty through the delicate depiction of a female skull. The skull, marked by its history with syphilis and its visible scars, serves as a poignant symbol of the human spirit's resilience.

Distinguished

_Infatuation, a surface admiration of unreasonable power and attachment. But what’s more unreasonable? the power or the attachment (perspective)?_

  
_When the layers of the object of our desire, be it an actual object, person, or an idea, have yet to be revealed, we project our ideals most strongly._

  
_Perhaps infatuation is a likely attempt at control, an unintended consequence of passion, on what we might want to see, what we hope it to be, or what we’ve been made to see, as we align in a repetition of will, in patterns of our proclivities._

  
_Cartoonish and incomplete, infatuation’s unreasonable grasp paints a piercing superficial visage, an artifice, at once incomplete and lacking of the proper depth we unconsciously seek, shrouded in the modes of appreciation that attract us, like beauty, deference, and the hope of something or someone, an objectification that relents only when we progress to the knowing of true intimacy._

“Infatuation”

The neighborhood where I was born is completely changed today. Split into two parts very distinct from each other. On the one hand, we can see the harmful effects of rapid gentrification... Housing not at all affordable, property even less accessible... Leaving all the room for crooked owners who only see the realization of profit by selling this to ever more foreign interests, who care nothing about the whole community aspect. The other side of the neighborhood, the one where I was born, is even more dilapidated than it was... Left to its sad fate. an almost abandoned neighborhood whose existence no one remembers anymore and the people who remained there are still 100 times more plunged into a state of extreme precariousness... All this against the backdrop of a provincial government which completely denies a housing crisis exacerbated throughout its territory. Same government which denies ambient systemic racism and which struggles to recognize the greater precariousness of the status of women. Same government that doesn't care about the workers of its entire health network and its education network. But everything is fine in Quebec.

Un quartier en abandon

Renée LoBue’s mixed media piece, “Canyon Hero,” is a vibrant amalgamation of books, paper, fabric, vintage mica wallpaper, tape, and sequins. Dominated by the colors red, white, and blue, this piece evokes the rugged spirit of life on the prairie and the ethos of American pioneers. Central to the composition is a pie mold, symbolizing the essence of femininity that helped shape early America. The use of vintage mica wallpaper and sequins adds a nostalgic and shimmering quality, contrasting the raw textures of books and fabric. “Canyon Hero” explores themes of masculinity and heroism, drawing on the imagery and symbolism of the frontier. This work pays homage to the resilience and adventurous spirit of pioneers, blending historical references with a modern artistic sensibility.

Mas Que Chiles

The iris of night and the ivy of day, sealed with pomegranate seeds, forever intertwined with the structure of poison of which all we know resides. Put into motion by identities of glass wrapped around us in nets of silence.

The market stalls lining the street add an interesting dimension to the composition. The use of bold and saturated colors is a defining characteristic of this painting with the contrast between the bright yellows and reds in the clothing with the more muted tones in the background provides a striking visual balance.

  
The painting style of the artwork exudes a vibrancy and energy. The slightly abstract vs. slightly realistic rendering creates a compelling blend that captures the essence of a lively market while adhering to the artist’s interpretation. The strong use of color, along with somewhat distorted scale and perspective, imbues the painting with a sense of liveliness and presence.

The Noise of Silence is born as a spectator and carries the sociological patterns of human society on its back. This statue is depicted as a figure silently observing the events around him.

  
This viewer reflects the inner world and relationships of people while trying to understand the flow of events. It is part of human nature to be a silent observer to watch, understand and internalize.The statue symbolizes the cycle of human life and society. In a world where events follow each other and change and evolution constantly continue, the viewer is a part of this cycle. The Spectator is described as a being who is inside this cycle and observes it.

"Psychedelic Forest" is an insightful trip to the world where nothing is defined yet. The place where universal forces are playing all along what makes time lose its ordinary meaning. We have to define everything from scratch relying on our minds. If we want to understand ourselves, we need to project it on the canvas of time, and at a particular moment, all hidden senses will reveal themselves in many different forms. They're all will be linked together like a forest that connects all living things.

Psychedelic Forest

Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher, purportedly discovered the secret of harmony when he came across five blacksmiths hammering in a village. The five hammers were producing a wondrous collective sound. Yet, Pythagoras realized that only four of the five hammers were throwing off true harmony. That fifth hammer was a bit off. Pythagoras could not measure it; nor could he understand its discordant sound. Like many practitioners today, Pythagoras discarded that fifth, outlier hammer.

  
it is clear that the fifth hammer did not contribute beauty and magic by fitting in. Rather, it made a difference by standing out. It turns out that the fifth hammer was a misfit and the secret to the entire sound that piqued Pythagoras’ ear initially. The fifth hammer added grit and resonance to a system that would have been flaccid without it.

  
In being discordant and different, the fifth hammer actually created harmony.

**_The Fifth Hammer_** is an archival Oil Monotype on Cold Press 300g paper.

  
Monotypes were made popular by such artists as Paul Klee and Edgar Degas. This monotype was created by applying oil stick to plastic and then manually pressing my image to paper. By using my hands, I can create varied tones, controlled and painterly gestures as well as many unpredictable textures. Because I use minimal tools and materials, the original plate (or drawing) is destroyed with the printing process, making each monotype a truly one of a kind piece.
