This is how Maude Arsenault describes the power of her collective: the gathering of strong aestheticism that is also incredibly unique and captivating. New to THE PRINT ATELIER: Hector Adalid, Victor Vargas Villafuerte and Maxime Brouillet. All three will now offer their works to THE PRINT ATELIER, the online art gallery that guarantees to remain an attraction of choice for collectors, art lovers, interior designers and decorating experts.

HECTOR ADALID

Catching the photography bug while visiting Amsterdam, this Mexican native sharpened his talent behind the lens in the New York fashion world. A graduate of Anthropology, the adoptive New Yorker has had an impressive debut seeing his works published across Europe and the United-State. His clients include ELLE Germany and the Esprit brand, and he also conducted a television collaboration with the celebrity Victoria Secret angel model Karolina Kurkova.

Today Hector Adalid, however, is returning to his roots. After having produced a series of images concentrating on the Rarumuri region of Mexico region – which has become an integral part of the permanent collection of the National Anthropology and History Museum of Mexico – he continues to document landscapes and the peoples of his native land. Now at THE PRINT ATERLIER, Hector Adalid presents touching, contrasting landscapes that are filled with sincerity and couldn’t belong to a foreigner.

VICTOR VARGAS VILLAFUERTE

Following a specialization in finance at university and after five years as an actuary, the Mexican drastically re-oriented his career when he moved to Montreal in 2008 to study photography at Dawson. Although his training is unconventional for a photographer, it has served him well. Villafuerte possesses a highly intellectual approach and a rare aesthetic that sets him apart from his colleagues at THE PRINT ATELIER.

Always intrigued by monsters and by the dual relationship of fascination/repulsion that humans have toward them, his work explores the obscure side of existence. His Téralogie series, composed of 11 images that are numerically manipulated, updates modern society’s conception of monsters. Whereas Murmullos (“murmures” in Spanish) is a series of seven auto-portraits created with the help of a commercial scanner and where the coulour was subsequently numerically altered. Questioning the duality of the human psyche, Victor Vargas Villafuerte reiterates his unique approach and aesthetic that is at once disturbing and fascinating.

MAXIME BROUILLET

Maxime Brouillet brings to THE PRINT ATELIER works that are naturally fresh where temporality becomes aestheticism. A graduate of a bi-disciplinary program in cinema and photography from Concordia University, his twofold artistic learning has instilled in him with a particular interest in the temporality of the fixed image. As well, Brouillet continues to be immersed in the seventh art by producing videos serving as portraits for artists for the dance company Tangente; and creating short films exploring the human corporeality human.
