Remi Landry Email & Phone Number

Rémi Landry (Mazzuolo), painter and sculptor, is a mid-thirty-year-old born in the Greater Montreal region. After high school, his desire to create, brought him to traditional trades studies. Thus, in the early 2000's, he completed professional training in cabinetmaking and furniture finishing.That is where he was introduced to woodcarving and color finishing.  His career path eventually took him far from the arts, as he joined the public services.For a long time hampered by the feeling and fear of being different, he nevertheless juggles with the idea of creating.  It is only in 2018 that the return to the roots takes place.  The call is brutal and liberating.  This feeling of being different then becomes the cornerstone of his creative process, as he learns about resin, which he combines with sculpture.  From then on, he signed his works "Mazzuolo", "mallet" in Italian.  A fan of the contemporary style,''resinart'', where he played with colors in the casting process. The process requires a lot of spontaneity on the part of the artist, who sees his work evolve during the execution.  He explores textures, colors and cell effects by overlaying layers, which reveals the depth of the material.  Antagonistically, he traditionally sculpts wood with precision and control.  Sometimes these two worlds meet on a painting and the result is captivating: a work that we admire as a whole, then which attracts us in its details, until we want to touch it to grasp its depth, as if the eye were not enough.  When they are not abstract, his works are inspired by nature, water and animals.For him, uniqueness goes beyond the creative process and he does not hesitate to produce his own wooden board and integrated metal frames, which he considers to be an intrinsic part of the work, supporting his search for exclusivity.  He loves beauty and chic and likes to transform matter into an object of lust and desire.Version française : https://mazzuolo.art/
