"Life inspires my art and Art inspires my life..." – Gabrielle Dumont

Whether in port, at sea, in the heat of a regatta, whether beautiful or rusty sailboats, rowboats or ocean liners, LO’s boats always inspire a captivating majesty that leaves viewers dreaming, because his art is to make a story come alive with feeling.

"I want to create art that is interesting both visually and intellectually. Using random shapes, spaces and components, I create paintings that convey my thoughts on the social or psychological behaviours of human beings. I want my art to be considered profound but playful, because that’s how I feel when I create." – Pamela Comeau

"The moment of grace. That moment when you just let yourself float away on your back or when the simple fact of being alive makes you want to shed tears of joy. The precise moment when you fall to your knees and nothing else matters. During the transformation, these little moments of magic become increasingly present and take us by surprise. We become aware that, every morning, the sun gives us a gift. The moment of grace is, falling in love with yourself, but it’s also the unique vibration when two souls meet." – Jessie Bélisle

"I have heard the cicadas sing, smelled the scent of lavender. The way I play with colour and light is soft on the eyes and brings us inner peace. The various naïve characters that I paint will make your heart sing and provide a tranquility that will help you forget the world has gone mad." – André Coppens

"Sketching allows me to create characters and cities so that I can generate new ambiances and atmospheres from one painting to the next. I like to think about my subjects before painting and once I start, I lose myself in the process without really focussing on the end result. My paintings are done impulsively, in one stroke." – Hans
