DANIELLE LANTEIGNE
The painter Danielle Lanteigne likes to tell about the direct contact with plastic creation. Already a visionary and intuitive young person, she was only around ten years when she declared to her sister she knew about the instinctual use of tubes of oil which her sister had received as a present. From this moment, she realized the scale of the universe which she wished to paint. After studies in plastic arts at the University Concordia of Montreal, and more than a decade of constant pictorial research, her work was subsidized with the Grand Prix of the Council of the Culture of the Laurentian in 1992. She perfected this rigour of execution, which become characteristic in her work, under the aegis of Françoise Sullivan whose influence still shows itself in her drawings.
All the wealth of her current work is based on a knowledge and a mastering of the pictorial technique. The strength acquired in the division of the space, the depiction of colored masses and the search for textures is not foreign to the quality of the final visual set. Danielle Lanteigne tries hard to keep up high criteria of execution and invites us subtly, often comically, to perceive anecdotes taken from our everyday lives. The continual fight between the sets of balance of the forms and the colors rest nevertheless in what sees itself at once when we look at her recent still lives. She enjoys breaking the perspective of everyday objects. She consciously blurs our tracks of perception by painting a rectangular lemon, or sometimes a square apple which looks like a pennant, or grapes enlarged in right angles. Following the example of several painters of the new representation, she deforms to re-form better and makes vibrate lines.
For her, to paint and to draw are necessities, privileged moments when she agrees to remain in charge of the balance.
