Note:

At first glance Rideau (2010) appears to be a mixed media composition; lines and subjects are defined with utmost precision on an otherwise painterly background. Rideau, like so many of Lavoie’s work, is enigmatic and tangible, an honest example of the artist’s ingenuity. With an affinity for stories, Lavoie’s paintings offer the viewer a novel visual experience through the manipulation of scale and space. By introducing incongruous subjects that coalesce on the canvas, his split imagery is unconventional, unsettling, and appears time and time again in his staged compositions.

Lavoie, a graduate of the University of Québec, received the top prize at the 12th annual RBC Painting Competition in 2010. His works are included in multiple public and institutional collections including the Royal Bank of Canada and the Progressive Art Collection in Ohio. The artist has devoted himself full time to painting and currently resides in Montréal.
