Note Cards - R. S. Langlade

The artist's ancestry, a style which developed naturally before the artist was even aware, is seen in the note cards printed from the images of his original artwork. The rich curves and colours create a world on the canvas that the viewer is drawn into. 

The Artist: Born and raised in Cambridge, and now living in New Dundee, R.S. Langlade was always interested in art. For many years his creative expression came out in his designs for interiors and cabinetry. However, he couldn't deny his natural artistic ability and started his art practice in earnest in mid-life. Now some years later, he is enjoying producing works that range in style from fine realism to subjective impressionism and often somewhere in between. Of late, Raymond has been enjoying playing with "unexpected" colours and reckless brushstrokes, where he enjoys the flow and volume of building up his compositions with points of interest and leading lines and colours. This combining of heavy light effects with unnatural accented colours and lines is what R.S. calls, “Expressive Impressionism” and, he is happiness when he finds this woven into his work. 

Some of R.S.’s work has been commissioned for display at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (delayed due to COVID) in Hamilton Ontario, while most pieces have been acquired or commissioned privately.
