Entering the pictorial universe of Anick Langelier, a self-taught Montreal artist, is to embark on an unusual adventure exploring the history of Western art.

A dizzying adventure where evocations of iconic scenes and characters from yesterday and today collide. Each canvas offers us a journey into an eventful territory where references to the works of great masters of yesteryear intertwine with those of modern creators of comics and cartoons.

Resolutely naive in style, the artist's compositions take advantage of the evocative power of such elements to bring his visions and quests for meaning to life.
