Yann Lemieux's art explores notions of strength and freedom, embodied in boldly contoured female figures. Faces and silhouettes become the core of a vibrant pictorial language, built on matter and movement. For him, these feminine presences act as powerful vectors of expression, at once fluid and charged with tension.
His practice revolves around a visual stratification in which forms superimpose, intertwine and respond to each other. Using ultra-low viscosity acrylic paint, he composes images in successive layers, where plastic interventions qualify the atmosphere and enrich the silent narrative of his figures.
Working on the edge of abstraction and figuration, Lemieux constructs a fragmented pictorial surface, shot through with spontaneous impulses and formal ruptures. He draws freely on the codes of street art, while maintaining a link with more classical principles of composition. This duality feeds a formal research that aims to refocus on the female figure, not as a passive subject, but as an active, meaningful entity.
For Yann Lemieux, painting becomes a field of exploration where content and form respond to each other, where each image is the result of a balance between structure and explosion, between technical mastery and liberated gesture.
