Hot Shots Benoit Aquin

Artist Statement

The Hunting project is about a feeling of what composes our DNA. I explore landscape as a predator and hunters as an initiation into different realms of reality. This project is a voyage that unfolds magical environments and instinctive behaviors.  I have worked on “Hunting” for five years; it makes for a powerful body of work.
