Denis Lanteigne is a native of Caraquet. He obtained his B.A. in psychology from the Université de Moncton and entered the Collège de Bathurst in 1973, where he took courses in graphic arts, sculpture and photography.

After a few years in Caraquet working in advertising and on art projects, he moved to Montreal in 1982. He works in millinery with his wife.

In 2003, he opened a studio in Caraquet and worked on various sculptural and photographic projects. He has been working on outdoor installations since 2011. Holder of several creative grants, his works are part of public and private collections. He has participated in various art events and symposia. Since 2006, he has been director of the Centre d'artistes Constellation bleue, which manages the Galerie d'Art Bernard-Jean. He has served on the boards of AAAPNB, artsnb and the Commission culturelle de Caraquet.

La matière in/et visible is a series of illustrations based on automatic gestures. An exercise in the repetition of lines and movement. In this way, I elaborate a form of some kind that appears to build itself up as the process unfolds.

The repetitive shapes and motifs that accumulate are intended as a reminder of those seen in nature.

Nature, that which is visible, but the approach also suggests that which we do not perceive. A reference to the state of invisible matter, that of particles and waves in the realm of the atom, and even more so, that of subatomic particles such as quarks, bosons or neutrinos. Science makes us see them organized in symmetrical geometry, in round shapes or precise spirals. I see them more as energetic, vibrating, multiform systems, in other words, quantum: wave and particle. Forms of the microcosm that reproduce themselves and are found in the macrocosm.

I use an iPad tablet as an illustration medium, which I then transfer to paper.
