Digital Fragments 416
What is Digital Fragments 416?
Digital Fragments 416 is part of Denis Leclerc’s series Ethereal Solid. He created it in May 2025. This work marks a shift in his digital practice. He no longer dissolves reality into abstraction. Instead, he gives abstraction a form. It feels present and weighty.
This piece exists in two forms. One is a printed version. The other is a subtle animation. Each version lets the image breathe. Together, they reveal form, gesture, and emotion. As a result, the viewer sees something abstract yet grounded.
How Digital Fragments 416 Translates Gesture into Shape
The composition shows smooth curves in warm bronze, copper, and cream. These shapes suggest a human presence—a face, a shoulder, a gesture. Nothing is fully defined. The form stays in motion. It hovers between memory and matter.
Leclerc does not break the image apart. Instead, he lets the form hold. He utilizes the digital medium to bring something to light. He asks the viewer to think. What if emotion could take shape? Consequently, the viewer enters a space where presence and ambiguity coexist.
The Animated Layer of Digital Fragments 416
Light glides across the surface. Shapes stretch and fold. Movement is minimal but powerful. As a result, the image feels alive. It gently evolves.
The animation avoids narrative. It explains nothing. Instead, it invites the viewer to watch. A form emerges slowly. Even though the motion is subtle, its presence is strong. Ultimately, it turns stillness into rhythm. Therefore, the work offers a meditative experience.
Material Qualities of Digital Fragments 416 (Print Version)
Leclerc printed this work on Hahnemühle metallic paper. The work exists in three formats (See Below). The tall format adds tension. Even so, the metallic surface reflects light softly. It builds depth, even when nothing moves.
The print asserts its presence. Although the work is digital, it feels intimate and grounded. Its stillness gives it quiet strength. The metallic surface adds texture and warmth, making the image feel almost touchable. As a result, the piece engages the eye—and stirs the senses.

From Fragmentation to Presence: A New Direction
The Ethereal Solid series rethinks abstraction. It no longer escapes form. Instead, it returns to presence.
Past works broke form apart. This series holds it together. Digital Fragments 416 is one of many pieces where the abstract becomes visible. In this way, it affirms a new path. As such, it leads to future works. They may grow with more clarity. Moreover, this shift opens new ways to express digital feeling. Meanwhile, it keeps form in motion. It never stays static. It is always becoming.
