LaLonde – Celestial Love Affair
Rene LaLonde is a Canadian artist known for his surrealist approach to pop art. LaLonde uses bold colors in conjunction with flattened planes to create his own surreal, cubist take on everyday pop art subjects. Despite the flat planes found throughout his paintings, LaLonde’s works are at the same time very complex and layered. Below is LaLonde’s Celestial Love Affair, a true delight for the eye.
