Philippe Le Miere’s digitally rendered landscapes were born as free-form sketches, drawn on the computer. They then grew into 3D computer generated models, virtual worlds Le Miere could roam, finding the perspective which would form his work of art.

‘Alone on the Rocks’ is not a real place – coordinates you can swivel but can’t locate. It may be informed by the surroundings of Mornington Peninsula where the artist grew up, as well as the history of landscape painting, the genre upon which Australian art was established. Early landscape art in Australia was often devoid of people, idealisations of places that evoked a mood, idea or aspiration.

Part dreamscape, part real place, Philippe Le Miere’s landscapes oscillate from hyper-reality to fantasy. In this digitally rendered universe, mountains and cravens take on psychological resonance - evoking the shifting terrain between the conscious and unconscious. For collectors of contemporary landscapes and new media art, ‘Alone on the Rocks’ offers a new perspective.
