The paintings of French artist Olivier Passieux come across as being very fuzzy polaroids of memories that become less clear as time goes on. Passieux seals his work in a thick transparent epoxy which provides the sort of shine given off by photographs. Because the blurring of the subjects renders them indistinct, they share a commonality and can easily slide into the nostalgic past of any viewer. Family photographs more often than not represent happy moments, moments worth capturing and preserving, but Passieux brings to mind the sometimes destructive nature of time and those moments become distorted.
