Bio

Guy Lavigueur, born in Mont-Joli in 1955, is a photographer known for his research in aerial photography, an area he has been exploring for more than three decades. His works, captured from the heights, reveal geometric patterns and landscape configurations invisible from the ground, transforming natural environments into aesthetic compositions of great finesse. Through its approach, Lavigueur redefines the relationship between the observer and the territory, highlighting the hidden beauty of northern landscapes.

In parallel to his aerial work, Lavigueur has become firmly grounded and continues his formal research on textures, lines and colors transcending figurative representation, opening a space of reflection where visual perception is decomposed to better reinvent it. Through these two complementary practices, the artist plays with the notions of form and space, creating works of great aesthetic and conceptual depth.

In his recent work, Lavigueur has been interested in slow processes such as natural phenomena of erosion, sedimentation or landscape transformation. This exploration of time is part of a broader approach, aiming to capture not only the present moment but also the traces left by the passage of time. The use of photography as a medium to capture these slow evolutions testifies to his commitment to a reflection on temporality and the imperceptible change of forms.

Guy Lavigueur is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCAF) and is recognized as a pioneer in exploring the potential offered by aerial and abstract photography. His nationally exhibited work reflects a continuous quest for aesthetic innovation and a deep understanding of the interactions between man and his environment.
