Statement
|
|
In Yvan LaFontaine's art, the most real aspect of reality is evoked, with the multiple faces of its strange but wonderful presence. LaFontaine's paintings facinate us the way face to face encounters do. They bring us back to the passion of seeing.
- Marc LeBot, writer and historian of the arts, professor at the Universite de Paris.
On paper, Yvan LaFontaine transcends space and the subtleties the relationships between human beings.
- Lauraine Fontaine, General manager of Expression art center in St-Hyacinthe Quebec.
