Ethereal Solid Series

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 Series 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.

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.

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.

Where Form and Fluidity Intersect

Digital Fragments 404 continues Denis Leclerc’s exploration of digital abstraction, where form and fluidity intersect in a visual space that feels both structured and unstable. This artwork captures the moment just before form dissolves—when clarity begins to fade, and movement takes over.

Bold, saturated hues—deep reds, vibrant blues, and shimmering metallic tones—collide with blurred and stretched textures. These visual elements evoke transformation and motion. Light plays across the surface, altering perception and distorting depth. As a result, the piece invites viewers to question what is fixed and what is fleeting.

Positioning Digital Fragments 404 Within Contemporary Art

Inspired by movements like Post-Digital Abstraction, Neo-Expressionism, and the Digital Sublime, Digital Fragments 404 resonates with the energy of gestural painting while embracing the flexibility of digital media. It also shares a visual language with Glitch Art, yet remains closer in spirit to digital impressionism and liminal art, where the image floats between reality and disappearance.

A short animated version of Digital Fragments 404, generated by AI, extends its visual language into motion. This experiment examines how artificial intelligence interprets artistic fluidity, blending human intuition with algorithmic process. The result is a tension between mechanical translation and aesthetic intent.

Ultimately, Digital Fragments 404 is more than a still image. It is an abstract memory—a visual trace suspended between gesture and atmosphere. It asks us to look closely, knowing that what we see may vanish the next moment.

Digital Fragments 401

Digital Fragments 401 is part of the Golden Rule Series. In this body of work, I explore movement, texture, and transformation through digital abstraction. Although each piece begins without a plan, it often finds its own rhythm. In this one, the forms seem to shift and pulse, as if suspended between stillness and motion. As a result, light and shadow sculpt the surface, revealing depth in every fold.

At the same time, a golden backdrop introduces a sense of calm. It acts as a quiet contrast to the restless energy of the forms. Moreover, soft pink and silvery tones enhance the sensation of movement. Consequently, the entire composition feels like a living, breathing material, constantly in flux.

Ultimately, Digital Fragments 401 continues my search for balance. I am drawn to spaces where structure dissolves. After all, that is often where the image begins to speak.
