When Lines Reverberate

Echoe Residue is the second digital artwork in the Liminal Drift series. It blends quiet motion and abstract rhythm in a grayscale composition that bridges screen and print. Both animated and physical versions are available through the Dimension Collection.

Echoe Residue and the Language of Disappearance

This work draws its tension from faint signs — broken lines, distant gestures, and the lingering residue of something nearly forgotten. The image unfolds vertically, creating a subtle sense of gravitational pull. Its grain and blurred textures evoke dry media like graphite or charcoal, even though the entire process is digital. As a result, the work feels at once familiar and elusive, like memory in visual form.

Visual Echoes and Fragmented Structure

In the composition, repetition becomes a murmur. The lines do not assert themselves; rather, they echo one another, faintly. There is a resemblance to the line diagrams of the I Ching, those hexagrams built from broken and unbroken lines. Here, structure and signal hover just above recognition. The work feels at once ancient and futuristic, like a transmission across time.

Screen-Based Art That Listens

Although created digitally, Echoe Residue was not merely intended for display on screen. It was shaped by the screen, yet remains rooted in the material sensibility of drawing. This duality aligns with a broader practice in contemporary art, where motion and stillness coexist. Here, the animation does not perform — it breathes. Likewise, the still image doesn’t freeze time — it listens.

“What is remembered lives.”
— Adrienne Rich

The animated version is available upon request and offers a meditative experience, inviting the viewer to inhabit the silence between gestures.

Digital Fragments 418

Ethereal Solid

Digital Fragments 418 is part of the Ethereal Solid digital art series by Denis Leclerc. Like all works in this collection, it explores abstraction as a porous space. Light, form, and rhythm dissolve into each other. However, this piece feels different. It stands out with its dense textures and layered tension.

At first glance, the shapes look like rock, fabric, or even folded metal. But when you look closer, the image becomes harder to define. It feels layered, as if time had folded in on itself. As a result, Digital Fragments 418 shows a moment of pressure. Everything leans inward—yet nothing breaks.

Digital Fragments 418 and the Influence of Dazzle Camouflage

One of the most distinctive features of this Ethereal Solid Digital Artwork lies in the striped patterns running across the surface. These lines echo dazzle camouflage, a pattern used on warships during World War I. Instead of hiding ships, it confused the eye—making them harder to target.

In the same way, Digital Fragments 418 uses visual misdirection. It pulls the viewer in, then breaks their focus. Rather than offering a single focal point, the image creates shifting zones of rhythm and contrast. Like a dazzle ship, it turns distraction into a kind of strength.

Consequently, this mix of order and ambiguity defines the Ethereal Solid series. Leclerc builds each piece with clarity and care. Although the forms feel unpredictable, each line serves a purpose. Every texture plays a role in the emotional balance of the work.

Furthermore, the artist used high-resolution digital tools. He built the layers on iPad, working over time. Therefore, the result balances movement and structure—gesture and memory, all at once.

Available Formats

This artwork is available in three limited editions. It is part of the Unique Editions collection. All prints use Giclée technology on museum-grade Hahnemühle paper. Each edition includes a 1″ white border and is signed by hand.

  • Miniature Marvel – 12 × 15.0 in – 504 $
  • Grand Gesture – 24 × 30.01 in – 1024 $
  • Monumental Piece – 36 × 45.01 in – 1924 $

In the end, each work in the Ethereal Solid series stands on its own. While they share a visual language, each one tells a different story. Digital Fragments 418 offers a quiet meditation on confusion—and how it can lead to clarity.

Interaction Between Gesture and Colour

Digital Fragments 407 emerged from a spontaneous interaction between gesture and colour. What began as curved forms quickly evolved. Saturated blues and yellows asserted themselves, creating a sculptural rhythm against a soft, atmospheric background.

At first, a thin diagonal line near the bottom right appeared by accident. Instead of removing it, I chose to keep it. That subtle mark became a quiet reminder that chance and intention often coexist in abstract work. In many cases, it is the unexpected that brings a composition to life.

Digital Fragments 407 is part of the larger Digital Fragments Series. This body of work explores abstraction in the digital realm, balancing gesture, texture, and light. Each piece aims to preserve a trace of movement, suspended in a state of stillness.

Digital Fragments 407 was also featured in the Festival Franco-Ontarien 2025, as part of a group exhibition celebrating the diversity of Franco-Ontarian artists presented by BRAVO.
