About the Item
chalk on vintage collaged paper from a book of fables
Artwork measures 60 x 32 inches
65. x 35.5 inches framed, deckle edge paper is floated in natural wood moulding with glass
This painting is being offered by Carrie Haddad Gallery, located in Hudson, NY
This modern, graphic chalk drawing on collaged vintage book pages was made by Louise Laplante in 2016. These are not your average cutesy bunnies - the artist imagines as though these tough hares would wear motorcycle jackets. The vivid black hares are stenciled in chalk on top on collaged pages from a vintage book of fables. The old stories and illustrations from the book are still legible and add a charming element to the playful jumping hares in the foreground. The work is complimented with a modern natural wood frame.
Notes from the artist:
Biography is an interesting word and can mean many things, from chronological history, a series of significant “impact” dates or events to a more free flow blend of the past and its relevancy to the present.
Personally, my history is heavily affected by my status as a second generation American of French Canadian descent growing up close to the Quebec border. The easy passage from “old world” to “new world” is unique to those in states abutting the “old country” and results in the blending of the old and new. Stories from my family’s past influenced my parents’ choices in raising their children. These choices still resonate with me.
As an artist, this blending of old world and new, history and present, gradually became the wellspring for my work. Studying art at the Art Institute of Boston and College of New Rochelle as an undergraduate, and SUNY Albany as a graduate student I did as all students do, searched for my voice, trying styles, media and approaches. This continued into my early years as an artist. The work I did then, valuable as a learning experience has since been destroyed as it served its purpose. I began to mine my past, to use the remnants of the past, to recognize its’ relevant to the present and its richness in imagery.

Louise Laplante exhibits new drawings on collaged pages of vintage paper. Interested in blending the old world with the new, Laplante combines her original images with ephemera of the past, enticing a conversation about it’s relevancy to the present. Her compositions begin with vintage book pages, personal handwritten letters, sheet music or instruction from old guides on etiquette or science. Most recently, Laplante has opted for larger-scale work, combining multiple sheets of vintage paper to expand her unique motifs. She exhibits across the Northeast and has been shown with Carrie Haddad Gallery for more than 10 years.

'Under Scattered Clouds' by Louise Laplante
chalk on vintage collaged book pages.
Artwork measures 26 x 40 inches unframed
30 x 43 inches in light wood frame
This dreamy, whimsical drawing of fluffy light blue clouds was created by Louise Laplante in 2019. The vivid silhouette of clouds are suspended in space, drifting against a background of an early 20th century book of fables. Illustrations on the page include a hot air balloon, a rocking horse, a pheasant. In certain segments the stenciled images are delicately brushed over with a thin wisp of chalk which adds a delicate textured effect to the drawing.
About the artist:
Interested in blending the old world with the new, mixed media artist Louise Laplante combines her original images with ephemera of the past, enticing a conversation about it’s “relevancy to the present.” Her compositions begin with vintage book pages, personal handwritten letters, sheet music, or instruction from old guides on etiquette or science. While the text itself is weighted with reference to a particular subject, the visual of the typed or handwritten words and printed illustrations establish a unique pattern. These layered backgrounds are superimposed with opaque charcoal drawings that are inspired by the themes read between the lines. Most recently, the artist has opted for larger scale work, combining multiple sheets of vintage paper to expand her unique motifs. Laplante exhibits across the Northeast and has shown with Carrie Haddad for more than ten years.
