Having been inspired by such masters as Frank Stella, Piet Mondrian and Kandinsky, artist Cerj Lalonde states, "Some of my paintings are very structured and orderly so that the security and the power of limits permit all freedom for the expression of forms and colors and of all what painting and only painting can do."

Lalonde has developed a highly personal visual language by placing himself at the meeting points of the Russian avante-garde, present day minimalism and post modern abstraction. In doing so he has become part of the great non-objective movement born from the analytical cubism.

Born in Montreal, Canada, Lalonde holds degrees in Anthropology and Art History from the University of Montreal and University of Quebec in Montreal. Since moving to the United States, in 1980, he has exhibited at many well known and prestigious galleries throughout Canada and the United States.

His paintings have been acquired over the years by both public and private collections and have been chosen for exhibitions organized to show new and significant trends in painting.
