L'HOMME...

The focus of Guy Lavigueur’s artistic investigation is the transformed landscape, the insidious action of erosion and the disruption caused by human intervention. He juxtaposes these with rare, unspoiled landscapes.

In 2015, as part of a Canadian Forces art program, Guy Lavigueur took to the skies to explore the Canadian North. He consciously seeks out shapes and structures that are analogies of humans or animals. Having tamed his vertigo a long time ago, he now captures landscapes in aerial photographs directly above the ground as they fly by quickly.

On one of his flights, he suddenly saw a man with his back to him, his immense arms embracing a lake. Others might see a bear!
