Painting projects
Christian Messier's work in painting focuses on human presence, particularly on the atypical behaviors and ambiguous and unintelligible motivations of the characters present in his paintings . In his artistic approach, Messier seeks to disrupt symbolic landmarks and instead direct viewers towards a phenomenological experience of the visual characteristics of the work as well as a displacement of the self in the skin of the characters through the faculty of empathy . As a neuro-atypical artist, Christian Messier has built himself from an immediate perception of the world, which is reflected in his art. His works seek singularity and their meaning is flexible, just like a brain that adapts through its plasticity to its environment.
