In Danielle Lauzon's works, colors, shapes and lines work together or against each other to create a moment in a tale. Her tale, and the tale of people looking at her works. The artist works around a predefined form or fully improvises from colors and forms that take shape on paper and enter into a dialogue. She nearly always finishes her works by drawing lines in pastel which reinforce the suggestion of form or, on the contrary, by introducing elements that cast doubt on any would-be unequivocal interpretation. Danielle enjoys working with ambiguity. Her colors float, as if weightless, in pictorial space. The present moment, at its shortest, is set down on paper and time stops indeed while Danielle paints. Time, which swirls around us at an ever faster pace, comes to rest in the artist’s studio, stops at last to give her a moment to live in and to let you see the outcome. Danielle Lauzon is a self-taught painter who lives and works in Quebec, Canada.
