His art is represented in galleries across the country and has inspired many nature lovers, artists, and of course, collectors. Moreover, his striking use of light and unique painting methods have creating a captivating vision of this country’s landscape that has even influenced the way many art lovers and collectors of his work view those same subjects; a hike in the forest or the mountains is never the same for those who have come to know Langevin’s imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLangevin seems unrestrained by any limitations to his artistic expression. Whether the source of his inspiration is landscapes, “treescapes,” or the human form, they all carry the signature of his rare talent and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Langevin is a modern day Old Master – an impeccable craftsman, an innate talent. \u003cbr\u003e“When I looked at the paintings  of the Old Masters I saw in their  work something that I did not  see in modern art. Nothing in  my education or experience as a  painter could help me  understand how they achieved the effects that they did. I wanted that. I wanted to know I could achieve any effect that I could imagine. I wanted complete expressive freedom…”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Ottawa, David spent several years perfecting his painting skills. He pored over old texts, treatises, and manuscripts stored in the backrooms of art restoration departments and libraries reserved for conservationists. David obtained a Masters in Art Education degree from McGill University, specializing in methods and materials for the painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"200\" width=\"300\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-742x495.jpg 742w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-1013x675.jpg 1013w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-120x80.jpg 120w\" alt=\"whistler 08 06 142\" src=\"http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-300x200.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1133 alignright\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1992, he has been living in British Columbia where he finds an endless supply of inspiration for his art.
