The visual metaphors trigger the senses and evoke echos of historical architecture and journeys through a fantasy. Lacroix constantly questions the systems involved in his chosen medium. By refusing to adopt a certain approach, each painting becomes an inquiry into the manifestation of impressions and gestures that compose a painting. The canvas becomes a surface in which discoveries are made. The layering of technique and colour result in superimposed landscapes that obliterate reality. There is a theatrical quality that emerges through the luminosity of colour and the notion of time in suspense.
