Today I wanted to share the work of Quentin Leduc, a young illustrator who practices his craft using the pointillist technique. Pointillism, for those not familiar, is the practice of using small points or dots, sometimes in different colours, other times simply in different densities and patterns, to create the visual illusion of a unified whole -- one might consider here how a mosaicist can use different small stones and gems to create something similar. For those interested in art history, one might recognize this as the technique used by the 19th century French artist Georges Seurat.
In the case of Quentin Leduc, after studying art at the Saint-Luc Institute in Belgium, he started as a graphic designer and illustrator. He converted to Catholicism at the age of 21 and after studying Christian art for six years, he decided to make it his profession, creating various symbolic and iconographic Christian models in the gothic period style.
