It is evident in looking at a body of his work that Langevin prefers winter and mountains. In an interview years ago, he offered the opinion “winter offers painters a wider selection of colors than summer does, even warm, bright tones: you just have to look for them!” He then described mountains as friendly.

His stroke is vigorous. Clearly defined patterns abound on the canvas. The contrasts are many and well marked. It seems the artist knows what he wants, but this spontaneity is illusory. Each scene is carefully composed and drawn. An atmosphere thriving on warm tones prevails. Langevin manages to put his personal style into a very traditional school of painting.

Born in 1942 in Montreal, Claude Langevin is represented in many galleries across Canada. His work is held in many public and private collections.
