Lys-Ange LeBlanc is a French-Canadian multidisciplinary artist based in Norris Point, within Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland. A second-generation painter and printmaker, he is the son of renowned Maritime artist Daniel Gautier. Raised on the Magdalen Islands, LeBlanc grew up surrounded by the ocean and the artistic energy of his father's studio-gallery, Le Havre–Atelier Galerie. This creative environment, alive with the presence of artists flowing through the seasons, laid the foundation for his lifelong relationship with art. His practice, while rooted in personal legacy, has been shaped by a broad international perspective. LeBlanc spent over a decade living and working in Northern Finland, where he earned a Master’s in Arctic Art and Design at the University of Lapland. During that time, he co-founded cultural initiatives, curated exhibitions, and performed across Europe and beyond, collaborating with artists from global networks such as Diverse Universe (Non- Grata) and sharing stages with figures like John Giorno and Mushimaru Fujieda. He has exhibited and performed his work locally, nationally, and internationally. At the heart of LeBlanc’s work is an ongoing conversation with his late father’s legacy. For years, he sought to define his own voice through experimentation, only to discover a profound peace in embracing the visual and emotional dialogue between their practices. Since his father’s passing in 2021, that bond has only deepened—his father’s presence felt in brushstrokes, light, and memory. LeBlanc’s paintings and prints are poetic landscapes that explore horizon, color, and belonging, often anchored by architectural elements that draw the viewer inward. His compositions invite quiet reflection: spaces where memory, place, and time converge. Each piece stands as both an homage and a continuation, where art becomes a living thread connecting past and present.
