Painting 2017-2020 encapsulates a period of abstract and representational exploration on canvas and wood. Repeated subjects throughout these works include rabbits, hearts, flowers and the self. Although not intentionally created as a unified project, these paintings together encapsulate many common themes of self-discovery, emotional healing, family, friendship, memory, and dream imagery.

Iris Adrienne Langlois, Rabbit Catharsis, 2017, mixed media (acrylic, oil paint, graphite) on canvas 2017, 24” x 30”
Encapsulates a very specific, very messy heartbreak of an experience. In some ways it’s a self-portrait, juxtaposing inner core strength with chaotic, cyclical anxiety. In other ways it’s a snapshot of a moment in time, a catharsis painted first and studied later.
