Description
Born in Montreal, Nicolas Baier earned his BFA in studio arts at Concordia University in 1994. Very early on, his aesthetic research focused on photography, but in the digital era, this research implies a questioning of the technique. His interests thus turned towards the infinitely big and the infinitesimally small. Enter the metaphysical questioning of invisible spaces. It is in this context that Baier began making use of scientific imagery, attempting to make it accessible. His recent work, often sculptures, offers viewers the occasion to think about the human condition in relation to our capacity to understand the world in which we live. This is why the common thread in many of his pieces is the vanity of things and life.
