It is difficult to decide whether the photography, or the painting, of Quebec-based artist Jean-Francois Dupuis is more compelling.

His Facebook provides some opportunity to decide which type of work is more your style. This post focuses on his abstract photo works, with their arresting composition and gritty urban style. (Below: Transit)

Love Five Roses Factory and Colors the best, but all are really engaging!
Love the assemblage of pictures! The Metropolis dream and the Old Factory remind me of the photographs I’ve seen in a photo essay on Geometric Toronto, featuring images by Jonathan Castellino. Have you come across his work? He’s into urban ruins too, and even though the photos are not as not artsy and abstract as Dupuis’ work (which might have to do with how little postprocessing he does), the guy has an eye for spotting what would otherwise stay overlooked.
By the way, I thought The Colors was a weather map!
That’s a great observation about The Colors. It’s true! Thank you for the referal to Jonathan Castellino, who does marvelous work. No, I hadn’t run across him and just did a browse through his website. Great style.
Dynamic yet dream like! Love the nose and lips piece, a lot!
Yes, that’s a great pick. His painting portfolio is very edgy.
Love these images!
Yes, very creative, aren’t they. Love the colors.
