For the past 40 years, Richard Lacroix has been interested in the exploration and fusion of various painting and printmaking techniques, developing along his own original medium. It is this new technique that allowed him greater spontaneity and freedom in the exploration of form and color. What eventually came out was a distinct personal imagery “nor figurative nor abstract”, evoking the earth, abstract landscapes, fauna and flora, glaciers and craters, “always listening to that dim light demanding its shape from naught”. His approach to printmaking is, in spirit, close to calligraphy : the spirit of gesture.

A prolific creator in varied disciplines, his work has been shown in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia and is part of numerous public and private collections.
