ABOUT
JP Migneco explores the structure of representation through meticulous compositions which involve layering and juxtaposing a wide array of pigments. His work delves into ideas based on the relationship between culture and nature by reimagining symbolic objects and environments through a process which incorporates photography, drawing, painting and mixed media. The work oscillates between geometric and geologic abstraction in order to forge a balance between the natural and artificial so as to provide viewers with new ways of thinking about the importance of the natural world.
