Jeff Ladouceur

Ladouceur was born in 1975 on Vancouver Island. He is a self-taught artist, living and working in New York and Canada. His work consists primarily of ink, pencil, acrylic and a feeling for cartoonified line. His condensed, delicate renderings intertwine the mystic with the mundane and seem to draw upon certain visual references ( from 1930's hack animation to William Blake). Crops of small works on paper suggest a subconscious dialogue between multiple selves through a firmiliar and ever-growing personal iconography. Ladouceur's work has been reproduced in various publications, including Harpers, McSweeney's and Kramers Ergot. Recent solo exhibitions include: 'Do The Apocalypse' at ZieherSmith Gallery, New York, 'Long May You Run' at Tache-Levy Gallery, Brussels, and 'Floater' at the Vancouver Art Gallery. A third book of drawings will be published this year by L'Oie de Cravan, Montreal. Ladouceur is represented by ZieherSmith Gallery, New York, and Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles.
