ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse French: December 22, 1883 – November 6, 1965) was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. Varèse's music emphasizes timbre and rhythm. He coined the term "organized sound" in reference to his own musical aesthetic.[2] Varèse's conception of music reflected his vision of "sound as living matter" and of "musical space as open rather than bounded".[3] He conceived the elements of his music in terms of "sound-masses", likening their organization to the natural phenomenon of crystallization.[4] Varèse thought that "to stubbornly conditioned ears, anything new in music has always been called noise", and he posed the question, "what is music but organized noises?"[5] Although his complete surviving works only last about three hours, he has been recognised as an influence by several major composers of the late 20th century. Varèse saw potential in using electronic media for sound production, and his use of new instruments and electronic resources led to his being known as the "Father of Electronic Music"[citation needed] while Henry Miller described him as "The stratospheric Colossus of Sound".WIKIPEDIA SOURCE

Richard Jolicoeur (1952-), Ph. D, solitary self-taught artist, was able to reconcile for thirty-five years his work as a teacher and the concrete expression of a double creative passion inspired by the spirit of north-american counter-culture both in his musical (bandcamp/richard jolicoeur) and pictural works. He embodied some of his main pictural concerns during the eighties while he was an active participant in a few collective exhibitions in the National Capital Area as well as in a solo retrospective of his work in 1983 called My heart is large as a pizza. Handling alternately humour, self-mockery, misappropriation as well as the spirit of collage in his pop naïve production, some of his works have found themselves in private collections. For a few years, he also presided the board of directors of the SAHB (). The interest he has shown in the musical experiment process expresses itself alternately through theatral rock (Carnivore : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SydoQwYvK20), noise music and free jazz with Les Vents Fous, a group active in parrallel galeries. This last decade has been dedicated to computer aided music production (CAMP : 6), several musical works available online are testimony to that fact (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnHSusHPJfw&feature=youtu.be) . Video production is also one indication of his interest for images in musical setting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CNn-03ZKJk), for poetry and spoken words (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb0t5xZvIS8) and even for complete production of corporate videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVT4nx6gjN4). 2013 marks a return to the practice : «I did a painting in the way of Jackson Pollock and I realized that it was the same painting I did 25 years ago… so I went back to painting, to paint new things.». And, as stated judiciously by Rod Stewart’s third album’s title, Every Picture Tells a Story (1971), Jolicoeur tries to express in his new vintage-flavoured production simple ideas that will sometines make the beholder smile because of their naivety and studied contrats or by obvious references. The artist signs and leave you only judges.
