An Organization of Birds: Figurative Drawing of Colorful Birds on Antique Paper
Located in Hudson, NY
Figurative chalk drawing of flying bird silhouettes in retro colors on vintage collaged book pages 'An Organization of Birds' by Louise Laplante in 2022 chalk on vintage collaged cranberry cultivation manual pages 48 x 41 inches unframed, 52 x 45 inches in natural wood frame with non-glare plexi Louise Laplante bridges the past and present with mixed media drawings made with figurative charcoal silhouettes juxtaposed on collaged sheets of vintage paper. Finding beauty in forgotten or discarded sheets of ephemera, Laplante uses it as a guide for playful compositions of stenciled birds in mid-flight, drifting feathers, or taxidermized deer heads in rich pastel. A final burst of wistful linework glides over the pastel forms, accentuating her subject’s movement while adding another layer of texture. In this particular work, the artist cleverly draws an organized formation of birds over an almanac of vintage pages of numerical data. A departure from her typical greyscale palette, the artist introduces retro shades of brick red, forest green, cadet blue, and mustard yellow. The vivid silhouettes of flying birds flutter in place and provide colorful contrast against a background of vintage papers. 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. The figurative chalk drawing is framed with a light wood frame and has non-glare plexi. 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. Artist Statement: My work connects the texts, and ideas, in the vintage book, music or correspondence pages, with images those words evoke to comment on how the past still resonates, whether we are aware of it or not. It is informed by my love for old paper, letters, books and images, both as reminders of the past and as bits of pattern, tone, line and shape. The text on them acts as both content and visual device. With each work, I select, arrange and collage these pieces creating both a support and pattern building on it with motifs that are suggested by words on the papers. Although I often start with an agenda I always allow each work to build its own image.

Der Fled Maus (Figurative Drawing of Costumed Man with Moon on Teal Paper)
Located in Hudson, NY
Figurative drawing of a costumed man with two moons on handmade teal colored paper "Der Fled Maus", made by Kahn & Selesnick in 2011 mixed media, graphite, and pastel handmade paper 17 x 17 inches in walnut vintage wood frame with 8ply mat 7.5 x 7.5 inches unframed This whimsical mixed media drawing on handmade teal colored paper was made by the creative duo Nicholas Kahn & Richard Selesnick as part of their series "Truppe Fledermaus", wherein the artists celebrate the carnivalesque with a cast of peculiar costumed characters. In this illustration, a cloaked figure stands in front of a door with the moon, in two different phases, appearng in the background. The artists' highly stylized approach adds an almost vintage touch. The drawing is complemented by a simple vintage walnut frame, and a sturdy wire across the back provides for easy hanging. About Truppe Fledermaus: Kahn & Selesnick’s latest project follows a fictitious cabaret troupe – Truppe Fledermaus (Bat Troupe) – who travel the countryside staging absurd and inscrutable performances in abandoned landscapes for an audience of no one. The playful but dire message presented by the troupe is of impending ecological disaster, caused by rising waters and a warming planet, the immediate consequences of which include the extinction of the Bat, a shamanistic figure representing both nature and humanity. In one sense, the entire cabaret troupe can be seen as a direct reflection of the artists themselves, both entities employing farce and black humor to engage utterly serious concerns.

Trophy ((Figurative Chalk Drawing of a Stag on Vintage Pages of Penny Magazine)
Located in Hudson, NY
Figurative chalk drawing of a black stag on vintage collaged book pages 'Trophy for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge' by Louise Laplante in 2022 chalk on vintage collaged pages of The Penny Magazine 49 x 38 inches unframed, 53.5 x 42 inches in natural wood frame with non-glare plexi This graphic, figurative drawing in black chalk with collaged pages of The Penny Magazine was created by Louise Laplante in 2022. For this piece, she chose pages from The Penny Magazine started by Charles Knight in 1832, an illustrated publication that was released every Saturday to audiences in Great Britain. The hallmark of this magazine was the wood cut illustrations, a feature that appealed to the large portion of the audience that was still illiterate. The vivid silhouettes of one large stag dominates the foreground; a small black bird is delicately perched on one of the antlers. 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. This exquisite work is floated in a frame with blonde wood molding and acrylic glazing. 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. Artist Statement: My work connects the texts, and ideas, in the vintage book...

Birds and Folk Songs (Figurative Chalk Drawing of Colorful Flying Birds)
Located in Hudson, NY
Figurative chalk drawing of sienna orange, blue, green, gray, and black birds on vintage music pages 'Birds and Folk Songs - Going Home' by Louise Laplante chalk on vintage collaged music pages 28 x 48 inches unframed, 32 x 52 inches in natural wood frame with non-glare plexi This dreamy, figurative drawing of flying birds was created by Louise Laplante in 2020. The vivid silhouettes of colorful birds are depicted against a background of early 20th century music pages as if flying in a flock. 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. The figurative animal drawing is frame with a light wood frame and has non-glare plexi. 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. Artist Statement: My work connects the texts, and ideas, in the vintage book...

Chorus (Large Vertical Drawing on Paper of Blue, Red, & Black Birds, Framed)
Located in Hudson, NY
Large vertical chalk on paper drawing of blue, red, grey and black birds chalk on four vintage collaged music sheets Artwork measures 78 x 25 inches, 83.5 x 30 inches framed, deckle edge paper is floated in natural wood moulding with glass. This contemporary graphic chalk drawing on collaged vintage music sheets was made by Louise Laplante in 2016. The delicate yet vivid silhouettes of birds are stenciled onto the vintage music sheets with red, blue, navy, and black chalk. The birds extend vertically up the paper, as if they were singing in a flock. In some segments the stenciled birds are delicately brushed over with a thin wisp of chalk. The work is complimented with a modern natural wood frame. Whimsical composition, gorgeous neutral palette, and uplifting imagery! About the artist: Mixed media artist, Louise Laplante, will exhibit new drawings on collaged pages of 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. 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. In the six and a half foot tall work, “Chorus”, a flock of multi-colored birds are stenciled on collaged sheets of handwritten music. They gravitate in a gloriously dynamic upward movement, illustrating their song resonating in harmonious unison. Other work is decorated with groupings of blue whales, billowy clouds, or gentlemen’s hats, while some selections are riddled with personal references that are blurred with whitewash. Laplante exhibits across the Northeast and has shown with Carrie Haddad for more than ten years.
