Born in Montreal
on May 2nd, 1954, Cerj began painting and drawing lessons at a very
young age. He continues to actively create and exhibit, most recently
working on a massive installation for Art Basel Miami.
“Cerj Lalonde moves smoothly from the canvas to the camera,
from computers to installations, producing and showcasing an extraordinarily
rich and complex body of work created during the last 30 years. His purpose is to pursue a direct, and, in each case, a different
communication with the spectator. It can be said that Lalonde works as a team
with himself, not only to develop his artwork, but also to sharpen his personal
ideas about contemporary culture, trends... His paintings, installations,
photographs and web pages, are intended to function each in its own way, as an
overt revision and critique of the contemporary art system, as they establish
parallel dialogues between the artist, the public, and the curatorial values.
Cerj Lalonde works his painting with a
conceptual approach, as an attempt to restate the validity of painting as a
practice per-se. His abstract language ranges from lyric abstractionist pieces
to many personal interpretations on art history masterpieces, as specific
reflections upon geometric abstract paintings like Malevich´s black square
series, or Albers study of color, among others.
Lalonde holds many layers as an
artist. His years of experience as a painter and thirst for art history and
critique have helped him develop into a consciously literate artist. Formally,
his domain of techniques ranges from drawing, printing, and primarily acrylic
painting by means of a wild contrasting palette. But more than any type of
formalism, Lalonde´s work is a strong statement about painting itself and how
he approaches abstraction from a conceptual viewpoint. His paintings celebrate
the power and meaning of color and texture, the imperative voice of contrast
and stridence, and the million of possible solutions for a white canvas. I also
see in his artwork a psychoanalytical interpretation of art, and a curiously
unintentional approach to oriental philosophy appears throughout his multi
sized body of work.”
