Igneous Planes

Posted on 2 September 2025 | by Denis

Exploring Igneous Planes

Igneous Planes concludes a line of research where geology meets abstraction. Rather than depicting a literal landscape, the work stages a field of tensions: fractured planes of colour press against each other like shifting strata, suggesting depth, pressure, and release. The image reads almost from above, as if a terrain had been reduced to its essential forces. Because the composition is stripped of anecdote, every edge, junction, and pause carries weight. As a final piece, it resolves an arc I have been pursuing for some time, while quietly indicating what comes next.

Although the subject feels mineral, the language remains distinctly digital. Layers are built, tested, and pared back. Edges are calibrated so that contact points feel charged but not theatrical. The palette leans into restrained contrasts; however, the small shifts between values and temperatures keep the surface alive. In this way, solidity and instability coexist. The result is a surface that appears carved yet weightless, precise yet open, like a memory of stone rather than stone itself.

Process and Intent

The piece grew from iterative studies of pressure and release. First, broad colour fields defined the underlying mass. Then, controlled ruptures were introduced to create a rhythm of breaks and repairs. Because each intervention leaves a trace, I worked to keep the strata legible without resorting to spectacle. Consequently, the final image feels calm, even when it suggests movement. The aim was not to simulate geology, but to translate its sensations — slowness, compression, drift — into a visual grammar that remains personal and contemporary.

This closing gesture matters because it clarifies a method I can now leave behind. By finishing the series with Igneous Planes, I accept its limits and its strengths. Moreover, the work opens a path toward denser, more suspended presences explored in other directions of my practice. It stands at a threshold: complete in itself, but already oriented toward what follows.

Subduction Bloom

Posted on 31 August 2025 | by Denis

Subduction. Seduction.

Subduction Bloom is part of the Telluric Forms series, a body of digital artworks where earth’s hidden forces meet luminous emergence. In this piece, dark geological textures slowly open into a glowing brown-orange bloom, suggesting the invisible tension of tectonic drift. The word “subduction” — collapse and disappearance — meets the resonance of “seduction,” an invitation into depth and beauty.

The artwork invites viewers to imagine what lies beneath the surface: strata, pressure, collapse, and yet also the possibility of renewal. By working digitally, I aim to translate these immense natural processes into contemplative abstractions for the screen and for print. Each gesture, each texture, recalls the slow rhythm of the earth, while the luminous traces evoke breath, vibration, and sound.

From Stillness to Motion

Subduction Bloom exists both as a limited-edition print and as an animated variation. The print reveals a tactile intensity, with cracks and glowing undertones that evoke the sensation of stone, ash, and bloom. The animation enhances this atmosphere, introducing subtle shifts in light and motion inspired by sonic vibrations, much like a quiet echo of geological soundscapes.

Subduction Bloom was first published on Instagram as a 20-second reel. This initial presentation highlighted the animated dimension of the work, combining subtle light shifts with a sonic-inspired rhythm. The reel allowed the piece to reach a wider audience online, where the contemplative qualities of the animation resonated with the slow, immersive flow of digital platforms.

Subduction Bloom Availability

Subduction Bloom is available in both limited-edition print and animated versions. Collectors can acquire the physical work through Unique Editions, which details the formats and print specifications. Subduction Bloom is also listed on Singulart, ensuring secure transactions and global shipping. This dual presence reflects the artwork’s hybrid nature: both a contemplative print for the wall and a motion-based piece for the screen.

Whether experienced in its static form or through its meditative animation, Subduction Bloom remains a threshold work: a moment where geological collapse transforms into luminous emergence.

Abyss Vein

A Vein Surfaces in the Abyss

Abyss Vein is a suspended fracture — a moment where pressure and light converge in silence. Emerging from the Telluric Form series, the piece reflects on rupture, containment, and the internal movement of matter just before release. The central form evokes a glowing fissure, not erupting, but forming slowly under invisible weight.

The composition plays with opposing forces: darkness and light, structure and erosion, density and drift. Visual tension builds through layered textures, subtle distortions, and the suggestion of geological depth. Nothing explodes — instead, everything holds. The surface becomes a site of pressure, silence, and presence.

Abyss Vein is available both as a limited-edition archival print and as a contemplative screen-based work. While the print captures the tactile weight of the image, the moving version animates the fracture itself — revealing slow pulses of light, minute shifts in atmosphere, and the emergence of form from within.

The animation unfolds like a tremor just below perception. It is not narrative but spatial — a subtle choreography of textures and light, meant to be inhabited rather than watched. Its ambient soundtrack draws from ASMR aesthetics, amplifying the immersive and tactile quality of the piece. This screen-based version invites quiet attention, functioning as a digital relic in motion. Watch the animation on Instagram.

Whether viewed as a physical print or a silent digital presence, Abyss Vein reveals a space of tension held open. It invites us not to witness a rupture, but to enter the moment just before it becomes one.

Not a fracture. A pulse. An opening. A passage.

$Molten Rupture, Telluric Forms — abstract digital artwork with glowing fracture; limited edition fine art print$

Molten Rupture

Posted on 16 August 2025 | by Denis

A Mineral Intensity in Flux

Molten Rupture belongs to my Lithomorphe series, a body of work shaped by mineral matter and telluric forces. While many pieces in this series evoke buried rock masses and geological weight, this one takes another path: it opens a fracture. A tear in the surface, through which a glowing intensity emerges. The image suggests a geological rupture, yet it never settles into literal description.

Instead, Molten Rupture moves toward abstraction, inviting a subjective reading. Light seems both to erupt and to dissolve, as though matter itself had cracked to reveal an inner energy. Some may see a volcanic metaphor; others, a tension between collapse and revelation. The work is designed to sustain these shifting perceptions, allowing meaning to flicker between material and immaterial.

This artwork is available as a limited edition fine art print, produced on museum-grade Hahnemühle paper. The format enhances the chromatic density and digital texture that define the composition. Subtle gradients and fractured light acquire depth in print, revealing details that extend beyond the screen. Each edition is numbered and signed, ensuring rarity and authenticity for collectors.

Molten Rupture continues my ongoing exploration of the relationship between matter and light, between stability and disruption. In dialogue with other works of the Lithomorphe series, it resonates with geological forces, memory, and elemental pressure. It captures the instant when structure gives way and intensity breaks through.

This piece is featured in the Unique Editions collection, which gathers my digital works in collectible print formats. For those drawn to contemporary abstraction, it also connects to broader practices exploring materiality and perception, as seen on Singulart.

Neither illustration nor narrative, Molten Rupture aims instead to suggest — to open a breach in perception where light, energy, and matter collide in silence.

Lithomorphe

Posted on 30 July 2025 | by Denis

A New Exploration of Telluric Forces

Lithomorphe is part of a new body of work by Denis Leclerc. This piece marks the beginning of a series focused on telluric energy—those deep, volcanic movements beneath the Earth’s crust. The artwork suggests a world in tension. Forms push and pull across the surface, as if shaped by invisible forces.

Instead of memory or atmosphere, this series explores mass, resistance, and emergence. You’ll find rough textures and bold contrasts. Some areas seem scorched or eroded, while others glow from within. The composition evokes volcanic rocks or floating pumice—stones light enough to drift on water, yet born from fire.

The animated version, shared as a Reel on Instagram, adds another dimension. It captures a slow transformation, a drifting intensity. This 20-second video offers a poetic interpretation—an attempt to distill the essence of the artwork through light, motion, and sound. However, this moving image is just one layer of the experience. The printed work remains central. That’s what collectors are drawn to—the physical impact, the fine detail, the permanence.

Fine Art Print and Limited Edition

Lithomorphe is available in three sizes through the Limited Edition collection. Each piece is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag using Giclée technology. The surface is soft, matte, and archival. Every detail is preserved. A discreet artist monogram appears in the lower corner, marking its authenticity.

This series also continues the thread begun in Core Archive. Both explore dense matter, layered presence, and elemental balance. But while Core Archive leans toward silence and memory, Lithomorphe speaks through rupture and pressure.
