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.
