Jean-Pierre Lafrance uses mixed media on canvas to question faces and their perceptions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLafrance remains above all a man of intuition; he goes where he feels his own sources coming from: within himself. This is why the body has so far dominated his subject matter. It is precisely in relation to this theme that the most vital transformation of his approach has taken place. During the first years of his production, and until the end of the 1980s, he approached this theme from the outside, meaning he mainly translated the body in its visible, perceptible expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it is the interior of the envelope that interests him. His most recent production, where many – including myself – thought they recognized an inspiration from the landscape, is eloquent in this regard. In this series, he continues the same quest for the body, which he fragments even further. This body now becomes one with its environment, taking shape in a bubbling of matter where the notion of volume is inscribed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"volume\" is essential here, and it should not be confused with \"perspective,\" because Jean-Pierre Lafrance transposes onto the canvas this singularity of the body and matter, and this, without deconstructing like the Cubists did. He fragments and unites the body in a molecular dance that respects the two-dimensional reality of the support. A great plastic and aesthetic achievement, a series that will continue to surprise us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant \/ Contextual note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe illustration of the artwork in the living room decor is a digital simulation.
