Rene Miville was an innovator in the process of chemical manipulation using the classic darkroom printing process. Each work consists of silver-gelatin paper
with the basic chemical elements of developer, stop and fixer applied… a pure photograph as we traditionally know one. However, he literally painted the
chemistry upon the photo paper. Miville created a substantive body of work in the late 1980s and early 1990s. At the time of the dawn of the digital photography
age, his opposing aesthetic journey sparked a vigorous curiosity and interest among both museum curators and recognized international collectors.
