We’re thrilled to welcome Sylvain Latendresse to this year’s fair 🎨
Latendresse is a Quebec-born artist who has lived and worked in Los Angeles for the past two decades. His recent paintings are shaped by the wild landscapes of California—oak groves, chaparral, shifting light—and by a sustained inquiry into what lies beyond immediate perception. Working exclusively with palette knives and without preparatory sketches, Latendresse builds densely layered acrylic surfaces that explore movement, energy, and luminosity.
Drawing from post–neo-impressionist sensibilities and reexamining traditions of pointillism, fauvism, and expressionism, the work proposes nature as a convergence of multiple realities: what we see, what we understand, and what remains unseen. Scientific concepts—particularly invisible exchanges of energy and quantum superposition—quietly underpin the paintings, positioning them as meditations on perception and consciousness.
Latendresse will be on-site throughout the fair. An inside look at his work is just clicks away. Visit our link in bio for tickets.
