Signed Original Claude Langevin Painting "Night of the Storm" - Oil on Canvas - Well known French Canadian Artist - Frame dimensions: 21" x 25"
Claude Langevin (1942-2024)
Born in Montreal, Quebec in 1942, Claude Langevin began his education at l'Universite de Montreal in medicine, but abandoned this path in favour of a career in art. From 1961 to 1966, he worked in Montreal at his cousin's studio as a commercial painter, using acrylic paints applied with a spatula. In 1966, Langevin set off on his own, holding exhibitions of his artwork across Canada and the United States. Cowley AbbottNash Gallery
In the early 1970s, he established his own studio in Sainte-Adele in the Laurentians and became co-owner of several art galleries in the Montreal and Sherbrooke areas. In the latter part of the 1970s, inspired by the works of Tom Thomson and Clarence Gagnon, Langevin took a new approach to his painting - leaving the studio to work outdoors. This shift led him to transition from acrylics to oil paints and brushes, and by 1980, his new paintings were exhibited in both Montreal and Toronto with great success. For further inspiration, he travelled through the Saguenay, Charlevoix, and Gaspe regions, often painting alongside Paul "Tex" Lecor. In 1986, when Lecor formed the Institute of Figurative Arts (I.F.A.), Langevin became a founding member. Nash GalleryNash Gallery
Like the celebrated Group of Seven, Langevin rooted his work in the unique reality of the Canadian landscape, presenting a highly personal interpretation through bold colours, imaginative composition, and interesting explorations of perspective. He achieves a distinctive three-dimensional effect by first applying a white paste to his canvas, a hallmark technique that lends his winter and rural scenes a tactile, almost sculptural quality. He is best known for his winter scenes of small rural villages with people going about their daily lives. Le Balcon d'Art + 2
His paintings are highly valued by collectors who recognize his mastery of light and the maturity of an established painter, and his works are present in numerous public and private collections across the country. Galerie d'art Iris
