In his work, Michel Luc Bellemare explores the possibilities of critical abstraction, which is a new form of abstract art designed to articulate something concrete and meaningful about our contemporary post-industrial society via pure abstraction painting. Moving beyond abstract-expressionism and the litany of neo-abstract-expressionists, Michel’s work attempts to establish a new lexical interpretation of pure abstraction, capitalizing on its multi-dimensional nature by utilizing its radical subjectivity to say something meaningful about contemporary society through the re-interpretation of the tenets of abstract art and abstract painting. The fundamental premise of his art is the notion that “abstract art is the continuation of philosophy via other means. Abstract art is real actions that revolutionize conventional standards, specifically conventional practices and aesthetic standards through critical analysis, critical critique, creative re-interpretation and constructive innovation of outdated standardized art-forms and conventional ways of doing and seeing things”.
