Phil Carriere is Inspired by Music

Stronly inspired by music, Montreal artist Phil Carriere uses a unique printing technology to bring his photographs to life.

Inspired by the iconic album cover of Led Zeppelin’s *Physical Graffiti* (below), I have a special appreciation for building facades; they narrate their own tales – Phil Carriere

Carriere’s large-format photographic works use a complex and unique printing/framing technique.

Carriere spent years honing his skills in woodworking and imaging. He is a self-taught photographer and graphic designer who graduated in cabinet making, then worked for over 18 years in the fields of printing and woodworking. His work covers facades all over the globe.

Carriere’s unique blend of knowledge led him “to develop a distinctive process that employs reflective aluminum foil, translucent inks, and a glossy finish to bring my images to life,” he says. “The result is colorful, vibrant, and lifelike art that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who sees it.”

“With over 20 years in printing and five in woodworking, he integrates technical expertise and material innovation into his artistic practice,” says Koyman Galleries, which represents him. “His work reflects a deep exploration of print technologies and finishing processes, demonstrating mastery in combining craftsmanship with creative vision.”
