Like a genetic designer, Philippe Le Miere has created a cyber reality, where androids designed from anatomical studies perform the natural patterns of human evolution. These vivacious and strangely erotic “mindscapes”, Opening Landscape, The Struggle, The Birth, Reproduction, Death and Re-birth, appear as film stills placed somewhere between Ridley Scott’s ‘Human Replicants’ in Blade Runner, Wachowski’s virtual reality in The Matrix and Charlie Kaufman’s concept of entering the portal world in Being John Malkovich.

These heavenly stages are meticulously constructed via pixilation, rather than pigments, creating a harmonious meeting between the simulations of natural science, with the art of technology. “Painting with a pixel,” says Le Miere. “Is like painting with a pigment”.

We all have memories of landscapes that we have experienced. These memories are often more a remembered beauty of a place, rather than a faithful pictorial representation. We often remember these landscapes because they have evoked a particular feeling experienced at the time. It is this idea that this series of works seeks to evoke through color and compositional relationships.

These images have been sourced from the imagination. Some artists of the past have encouraged the idea of stepping outside the studio and into the plein air. These works instead tap into a more personal resource of imagery.
