Daniel Plante is celebrated for his hyper-realistic paintings that present luminous visions of everyday life. Painstakingly rendered with utmost detail, his works achieve a serene quality, and the artist is careful to produce an air of timelessness. “My subjects don’t wear shoes and their clothes are ample and often neutral to avoid being dated,” Plante notes, “The carpets, tables and curtainsin my paintings don’t follow fashion or style past or present.” (1)

Daniel Plante was born in Montreal and now lives in the Laurentians with his wife, his two daughters and his son, who act as his models. The Late Dr. Stern of the Dominion Gallery was the first person to realize the extent of Plante’s talent. Plante has since exhibited several times and his works are sought by collectors who like his personal approach, colours and texture. He offers us paintings that are an oasis for the eye, far from the wild, often erratic, works produced by so many contemporary artists.
