Patrick’s image transfer works are infused with a warmth in both hue and texture, created by the golden cast of the wood as well as the delicate wood grain apparent beneath paler areas of pigment. With these works he seeks to explore themes of colour and light as well as the emotions sparked by nostalgia and remembrance. Patrick's image transfer process begins with an archival pigment print of his original image, which he then transfers by hand onto a wood artist panel. The transfer process causes the pigments (or image) to release from the print and adhere to the wood surface. Although Patrick has refined his specific technique to garner excellent transfer results, the process still retains a certain level of unpredictableness, normally resulting in small imperfections in the image and/or around its outer edges. These are intrinsic to all image transfers and give each work its uniqueness and organic, hand made quality. Finished works are sealed with a hand brushed and buffed artist’s wax, resulting in a soft burnished finish.

Though best known for his evocative image transfer works on wood panel fine art photographer Patrick Lajoie’s multi-faceted practice also encompasses experimental and abstract photography. His curiosity and enthusiasm for the medium continually drive him to stretch the limits of photography and its presentation. For his latest abstract series, he created unique custom-made mechanisms that enable him to spin and otherwise manipulate his camera and the way it is able to capture light. Beyond exploring themes of color and light his primary objective is to evoke emotions sparked by nostalgia and remembrance. Through his image transfer works he aims to achieve this with travel documentary imagery that is infused with warmth in both hue and texture, created by the golden cast of the wood as well as the delicate wood grain apparent beneath paler areas of pigment.
