ARTISTIC APPROACHA painter for over 25 years, Sylvain LeBlanc draws his creative inspiration from everything that shapes his daily life and his relationships with human beings.Through his approach, Leblanc invites the viewer to immerse themself in the universe where relationships are woven, sometimes close, sometimes distant, between the characters and simple objects.The forms, as realistic as they are imaginary, grotesque as they are harmonious, bear witness to the intimacy of LeBlanc’s artistic spirit. The intense and vibrant colours contrast with the delicate lines of the characters and objects. In his creations, Leblanc uses a mixed technique on canvas or wood panels, favouring acrylic paint, lead pencil, and image transfer. "...I am interested in the complementary dualities that inhabit us and that seek to define us. A movement that often tears us apart and leads us, despite doubts and imperfections, to self-acceptance."
