LENGELÉ
(CANADA)Lengelé, belgo-canadian artist, painter and illustrator, was born in the Belgian Congo (Africa), moved to Belgium in the 60's, and graduated from the Academy of Arts in Brussels. He enjoyed a successful career as a commercial artist, winning several awards. For the last 5 years, he has lived and worked in Montreal, as an independent artist. For many years, he was exploring different techniques and new mediums like digital software. Nowadays, he concentrates on acrylic painting and illustration in their most caricatured sense- he is using his vast experience from many disciplines in graphic art to his advantage. Lengelé has taken part in many publications (ex: cartoons in "Cités Nouvelles"), advertisements and packaging all over Europe and North America before beginning painting his own work. Painting, which had been secondary for a number of years, is now becoming a full-time activity. Like some of his favorite painters from the Pop Art movement, he debuted his career in the graphic design business, creating cartoons, ads and packaging. Lengelé is usually characterized as ironic, funny and witty with a very original style.
LYNCH
(IRELAND)In pre-Christian Ireland, people believed in both male and female gods and saw the landscape and their deities as one. They believed in the concept of "The sentient universe" and it was of vital importance that in order for the land and its people to prosper then there should be a ritual union or mating of the principal God and Goddess. Living so close to nature, sensuality and sexuality were seen as common expressions by all living things. This seems natural to me and so therefore my sculpture must reflect this. A beautiful sculptural shape is not enough in itself for me - it must tell a story, or refer to this ongoing epic of our relationship with the universe - with the ineffable. When I sculpt, I am not alone. There is a partnership that I cannot quantify or explain. All I know is it exists. Welcome to my "Personal Territory".
HUGHES
(CANADA)The result of amusing experiments whose initial objective was to create a rhythmic and undulating symbiosis fed by different musical pieces, the Delirium series is the response of the body and mind to a questioning of the senses. The artist acts as a catalyst, instinctively translating different phases of concentrated emotion, which the artist ironically designates 'momentum', in an amalgamation of disintegrated lines, forms, textures and colours. Through an exploration and an experimentation of the incremental and the instinctive nature of matter, colours, forms and lines, Hughes does not hesitate to return to acrylic, his medium of choice, to textured elements and to collages that allow him to follow the path of his personal pulses. Thus, the process of creation rests predominantly on an approach which gives importance to the organic nature of materials and to the physicality of the execution more than the intellectualisation of the procedure.
