Oeuvres des membres du jury
Renée Chevalier (Canada), Peter Boyadjieff (Bulgarie) & Kouki Tsuritani (Japon)
Kouki Tsuritani (Japan):
Kouki Tsuritani is a printmaker born in Tokyo, Japan in 1967. He combines the philosophy of traditional Japanese art (such as Ukiyoe, which means "Floating world") with traditional European printmaking to produce black and white mezzotints, photogravures and wood engravings.
"I like the rich harmony of monochrome and think it the most sympathetic for expressing the depths of our emotions and for reflecting the inner views of people who live in a "floating" modern world. I hope that viewers of my works find them intriguing and are provoked to feel something of their lost memories."
He has trained in painting and printmaking at Kanazawa College of Art, Japan, and exhibited extensively throughout Japan and in international exhibitions.
Renée Chevalier (Canada):
Born in Cap-Chat in the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, Canada, Renée Chevalier holds a master's degree in fine arts (painting), under the direction of the late Pierre Ayot, from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). She has had several solo and group exhibitions.
According to Jean De Julio-Paquin, historian and art critic: " Renée Chevalier's digital prints are very appreciated in national and international exhibitions and contests. Her work becomes a great theatre where images are experienced in relation to the sublimated body and the world of knowledge. "
Chevalier's visual research is multiform; her work is hybrid, as she explores
Digital print, drawing, painting, installation, and photography. She lives in
Montreal.
Peter Boyadjieff (Bulgaria):
Peter Boyadjieff is an artist born in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. He holds a Masters in Visual Arts and Design at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria (1983) with additional specialization in computer graphics, at the I.C.A.R.I. Institute in Montreal, Canada (2000). His allegorical images combine physical realism and poetic imagery in order to critically engage the viewer and convey powerful ideas in a broader cultural context.
His work has been awarded many prestigious international awards, among which the First Prize at the 27e Salon du Printemps in 2012 (Canada), Highly Commended Artist award at the 8th British International Print exhibition in 2012 (UK), Gold Awards Winner in B&W Magazine in 2009 (USA), Honorary Mention at the International Art Miniature of Vieux-Lévis (Canada), First Prize and Invited Artist at the 28th Miniprint International of Cadaques in 2008 (Spain), an Honorable Mention at the 4th Muestra International de Miniprint de Rosario in 2008 (Argentina) and the 2007 Grand Prize at the 2007 International Digital Miniprint Bravo Est in Ottawa (Canada).
