Brett Eduard is a Montreal-based artist working across painting, collage, sculpture, and animation. Creating immersive works that evoke a state of suspended motion—a palpable sense of vibration and stillness in tension.

 

Drawing on themes of deep time and sense memory, Eduard’s practice is informed by elemental poetics. His material language often references geological processes, reflecting the slow, enduring rhythms of the earth and positioning the work within broader temporal and ecological frameworks. Within these durational qualities, Eduard finds an affinity with music—particularly the sustained resonance of drone compositions, where sound unfolds gradually, altering perception and attention over time.

 

Taking inspiration from the concept of a tone poem in orchestral music, he seeks to create a kind of music for the eye: visual equivalents of melody, harmony, rhythm, and counterpoint contained therein. The work’s temporal nature—its shifts, repetitions, and quiet intensities—echoes the structure of sound and invites the viewer into a comparable state of sustained listening, but through looking.

 

Rather than offering static images, these works function as perceptual events—spaces to get lost in, where the act of viewing becomes reflexive, and the viewer is drawn into a heightened awareness of their own sensory engagement, moving toward an embodied seeing.
