Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Mercurial Alchemists believe in the ultimate unity of matter and spirit; the direct correlation that exists between the tangible physical world (the Body) and the immaterial realm of consciousness (the Soul). To them, the human Mind is the special place in the cosmos that stands in between the two, and is thus able to conceive them not as separate, but rather as parallels on different dimensions. As Above, So Below:…

Cheyco Leidmann's stylized surreal cutting edge style images began in the 1980s, before the world of visualization immersed in the blessing of retouch and digital techniques characterized by a powerful rainbow-like chromatic scale a magic box of artificial crayons, when Cheyco shook up with profound effect the art community with his classic world bestseller monograph 'Foxy Lady'. He redefined the visual aesthetics with traditional, analogue means and established and imprinted…

Cheyco Leidmann kept reinventing his visual language. In more recent years, he went on with monographs 'SEX is BLUE' and 'TOXYTT' a sort of social analysis through explicit and disturbing images that show the “toxicity” of modern life and he continues with 'ZIGGURAT' to be a prolific artist.

Cheyco Leidmann eagerly uses the aesthetic tradition of art brut. Like any type of art, his work is his personal interpretation, it incites the viewer more than ever with the hard edges of anguish and expectancy of the world around him.
