Sylvain Louis-Seize - Chromatic Giff*
to
Paul Kuhn Gallery 724 11 Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta T2R 0E4
Louis-Seize’s work is a cacophony of visual shapes and colour. The paintings are mostly large in scale, meticulous in detail and clean and elegant in their execution. While the viewer easily is seduced by the vividness of the paintings, the artist feels his exuberant style belies a more profound meaning and deeper examination.
In Seize’s own words:
For me the pieces represent a social commentary on our insta-perfect, enhanced and photo edited/filtered world. To the plain eye they are pretty pieces, but when you look deeper, the shade elements represent somber or darker episodes in everyone’s lives.
