Olivier Blouin’s stunning vision of the world around him is revealed in his photographs as well as in his architectural conceptions and graphics. A multi-disciplinary artist with a masters in architecture and a BA in environmental design, he delights in discovering hidden spaces and unexpected angles. His photography, which won the Prix Lux in 2009, is regularly exhibited in Montreal and can be found in public buildings such as the Pierre-Elliot Trudeau airport, or the spa Scandinave-Les-Bains in Old Montreal. Carrying on the tradition of his photojournalist father Normand Blouin, Olivier has scoured the African Continent, Europe, and North America, lending his lens to men and women who are making history or simply making do. He is currently working on illustrating the first book of the American sociologist Alice Goffman. “On the Run” depicts the reality of Black Americans caught up in poverty, violence, and incarceration in the heavily surveilled hyper-ghetto.
