After nature

This monograph by André Lapointe details more than 40 years of the artist's sculptural career through a host of images and two essays by John K. Grande and Flavie Boucher.

Excerpt from John K. Grande:

André Lapointe’s art is less about producing objects that occupy space than it is about building a narrative.The narrative is about our immediate connectedness to nature, and culture’s place in this space. His practise as a sculptor reaffirms that art, like the earth we live on, is neither object nor subject, and that we are a part of nature’s flow process

Excerpt from Flavie Boucher:

André Lapointe is a humble artist, faithful to his thought, to his guiding idea as it unfolds and improves with the passing years. While the art world outside of the Maritime region grants him a timid recognition now and then, Lapointe continues to pursues his path within a community that ignores the art market in order to preserve the undistorted singularity of the work and the artist.

André Lapointe

Born in Mont-Louis, Gaspé, André Lapointe divides his time between Dieppe, New Brunswick, and Saint-Ulric, Quebec. Since his first solo exhibition in 1984, his work has been shown throughout Quebec, the Maritimes and internationally. He has taken part in some twenty symposia and produced a variety of environmental works.

John K. Grande

John K. Grande’s writings have appeared in Artforum, Vice Versa, Art Papers, British Journal of Photography, Burlington Magazine, Lensculture, Interalia, ARTE ES, Espace, Border Crossings, Public Art Review and Landscape Architecture.

Flavie Boucher

Flavie Boucher is originally from Montreal and currently lives in the Matane area of the Bas-Saint- Laurent region. She holds an MA degree in museology and has completed her doctoral studies in art history at the Université de Montréal under the direction of Louise Vigneault. Her research focuses on folk art and art brut in Quebec, in particular in their relationship to national identity.
