Frog Wolf
a.k.a Diane Collet


Collet-Larichelire produces narrative work which explores the absurdity of life with respect to human relations and the sociological inequality of the sexes. She toys with philosophies that perpetuate stereotypes and produces puns inspired from everyday language. Some works reflect feminist or spiritual concerns, while others mirror glimpses of observations, conversations or sensations. Ironic or satirical humour is an important element in her work. Her methods are raw, quick and gestural and she uses primarily acrylics on canvas or plywood, and mixed media on paper. Collet-Larichelire received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Montreal's Concordia University in 1976. She has exhibited across Canada and abroad since 1981.
