Like a painter working on a canvas.&#13;\n<\/strong>That\u2019s the core of my practice. For the past eight years, I\u2019ve developed a special technique using industrial synthetic materials not designed for inkjet printing. I run them through machines and, on output, the photographic surface is already transformed, still liquid, unfixed. It flows. It\u2019s malleable, porous.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>\u201cThe tension between the real and the digital is central to my work.\u201d &#8211; <\/em>Jean-Vincent Simonet<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s my way of both digitally transforming the image beforehand and then reclaiming it physically, refusing to depend solely on digital tools.

Photo: Aur\u00e9lien Mole.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each time, it\u2019s a struggle with the image\u2019s texture. A desire to escape the pixel and the photographic condition, to become a painting without ever quite being one. In the darker works, thick chalk mixes with the still-wet ink, creating a blur. Our perception is constantly challenged: it seems photographic from a distance, but up close it looks like airbrush painting\u2026 then you spot fingerprint traces.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not formally trained as a painter. My approach is quite instinctive and spontaneous. I crave contact, the tactile feel of the surface. Once I\u2019m satisfied with the result, I varnish the image to fix it, though that doesn\u2019t stop me from reworking and re-varnishing it. It\u2019s a never-ending struggle with the surface, just as these images themselves strive to transcend their condition as photographs and digital collages. The tension between the real and the digital is central to my work.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3997\" data-end=\"4146\"><em>Jean-Vincent
