Synopsis
Since the early 1990s, Montreal artist Nicolas Baier has been challenging photographic convention with his elaborately constructed digital imagery. This intriguingly titled publication features a selection of large photographic works that represent the artist’s most recent production. Pareidolias refers to the perceptual game of ascribing a shape or form with meaning despite the absence of any precise correlation. Within the context of the pareidolia phenomenon, Baier’s works function as catalytic stimuli, enticing viewers with aesthetically seductive surfaces and non-iconic imagery to engage our perceptual faculties in search for meaning.

In the early 1990's, Baier emerged onto the local Montréal scene with one of the most ambitious and innovative approaches to digitally manipulated photography to be exhibited at the time. Since then his work has ranged from digitally altered images intended to shed new light on his immediate surroundings, in particular his studio and his living quarters, to more remote subjects, such as landscape. Recently, under the intriguing title Pareidolias, Baier has heightened his interrogation of the references used to capture and assess our environment and our daily lives.(2.2 JM HOZ 401/3 Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12".
