In his work, Michel Luc Bellemare explores the possibilities of abstraction using various artistic materials in order to illustrate new innovative methods of abstract non-representational art. Moving beyond abstract-expressionism and the litany of neo-abstract-expressionisms, Michel’s work attempts to establish a new emotive interpretation of pure abstraction through the use of new materials designed to express inner feelings and thought processes. The fundamental premise of his art is the notion that “abstract art is the continuation of communication via other means. Abstract art is real actions that revolutionize conventional standards, specifically conventional practices and aesthetic standards through creative reinterpretation and constructive innovation of outdated standardized art-forms and conventional ways of doing and seeing things”. Born in Canada and currently residing in Ottawa, Michel Luc Bellemare is a professional critical abstraction artist. He is the author of 4 books, one of which titled: Color-Realism: (The Essence of Color and Reality) is in the National Gallery of Canada’s library as an artwork and the others, i.e. Nomologism and Treatise On Logical Reason, are housed in the National Library of Canada. Moreover, Michel has exhibited internationally and his artwork can be found in various museums etc. Finally, Michel has taught both at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University in various capacities as a professor. His recent publication is: The Structural-Anarchism Manifesto: (The Logic of Structural-Anarchism Versus The Logic of Capitalism) (2016).
