In a world saturated with color and chaos, the purity of F. (Francis) Lipari’s starkly minimal paintings emanate a sense of calm.
The French-Canadian artist’s restrained visual language comes from the worlds of graphic design and advertising: clean, precise, graphic lines and linear perspectives.
Lipari’s works bring to mind those of the iconic Canadian painters Alex Colville or Christopher Pratt.
Lipari’s subject matter is rooted in the artist’s recurrent delight in barns and shacks found in otherwise barren landscapes.
Lipari worked as an art director at a Montreal advertising firm before turning to painting. His acrylic-on-canvas works offer a feeling of infinite light and space.

Minimal, yet rich, not sterile. That’s an achievement, I think
I can never recreate these crisp lines. I rather like this
Crisp is the right word, and you’re right about the difficulty. Thanks for weighing in.
