Andrew Latreille is an Australian-born, Canadian-domiciled artist whose refined imagery explores the transition of time.
Attuned to nature and form; the essence of his craft is around searching for and revealing points of view or moments that we might miss or overlook.
He refers to this as harnessing Liminal Space.
Projects are customarily long-term, spanning months or multiple years with a focus on the human interaction and impact around both manmade structures and our natural environment.
With an architect father and a mother renowned for her writing on Australian Landscape design, it’s not surprising that Latreille is a designer of visual stories.
“So many parts of my life have relied on my ability to tune into a changing atmosphere and how it effects everything around and in front of me.”
The past 15 years have seen him gradually begin to learn the history of the land he has placed himself within. In doing so, he has learned of the similarities between Australia and Canada. This continual process of historical learning leads him to create imagery that embodies a perceptual depth, referencing the moment(s) past, and a potential future.
His early life was spent learning and growing on the Traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the East Kulin Nations (Melbourne, Australia) and he now lives with his wife, raising their two sons within the unceded and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples (Vancouver, Canada)
He is grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and learn on these lands and honours these people’s connection to their country, their relationship with their land, water, and air along with all living things on those lands, and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Andrew gives his time to the industry through sitting on numerous educational and professional boards including as a National Board Member of the Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators (CAPIC) as well as President of the CAPIC Vancouver Chapter.
Since 2019 he has acted as an Ambassador for Phase One Cameras
