"Virtual Garden Creature XII" - John Antoine Labadie

"As a former industrial engineer my current artistic practice is deeply influenced by mathematics and statistical modeling. The subjects of my artwork vary quite widely but are primarily based on my research into how science defines our world and changes how we live. I am traditionally trained as a visual artist in painting, photography and illustration. These skills are bought to bear on the subjects that most engage me at any given moment. My current art-making processes also involve various modes of digital studio practice that is seamlessly blended into or combined with traditional media. In making artwork I often begin with scans of my drawings or with found objects – either electronic or physical. After that the processes evolve as needed to take works into a variety of forms: installations, online works, animations, time-based works, large format prints, and mixed media works. Sharply focused imagery and experimentation with technical processes are constant factors in my work. "
