Art Almanac recently featured a review of Langlois' work and the exhibition saying,?"... his painting has oscillated from pure abstraction to relatively literal landscapes. Yet certain qualities have remained consistent: subtle use of light and space, meticulous command of paint, and a desire to work within a limited, but ever-changing, palette of tones and colours that has been his trademark since he discovered Whistler as a young man." -?Steve Meacham,?Art Almanac In the documentary below, Langlois shares his thoughts on his work and the exhibition - giving insight into his concepts, working process and studio.
