Jean Pierre Larocque

“Jean-Pierre Larocque’s ceramics and drawings play with shadows—metaphorically speaking, the blurred edges of human experience, where the physical meets the psychological, that vulnerable threshold where the mind threatens to come unravelled.  We see semi-transparent heads, figures, and horses in a state of transformation—primeval in their power and essence, much like cave paintings: elusive and ghost-like.  The highly charged textures and complex supporting structures give his work an apparently unfinished or open-ended presence. […] Larocque’s search for a new visual language, while symbolically vague, is still clearly about certain central themes: loss, and isolation, the saintly and the diabolical in a time of seemingly no design.”
