What is the Lewis Lavoie Mural Mosaic all About?

Lewis Lavoie is the creator of the Mural Mosaic. This is the process of taking a variety of paintings and strategically placing them in an order so that they make a large mural. Lavoie created his first Mural Mosaic in 1997. It was created to be displayed on a retaining wall that was located next to an art museum in St. Alberta. In 2004, Lavoie decided to get more artists involved in his mural making.

It was during a charity event, 24-hour paint-a-thon, that he took a variety of panels that were different colours and shapes to give artist and encourage them to create a picture of their own. The artist took the panels and created paintings, and then return them to Lavoie. The mural was stunning once the panels were placed together.

From there, Lavoie with his associates Phil Alain and Paul Lavoie, started using the Mural Mosaic to unite individuals. This displays a number of artistic styles, but combines them to make a singular unit. Each artist that is involved in this process is given a singular panel.

They then have the freedom to create a painting in any way they like, as long as they follow the theme which is set for the mural. No one is allowed to see the mural until Lavoie debuts it. This in itself gives the project a bit of excitement.

This is a great way to get a variety of art and creativity involved in one masterpiece of art. Lavoie Mural Mosaic has resulted in a number of displays, which include Michelangelo’s David, Buffalo Twins, Earths Treasure Chest, Live Mural Mosaic, TRUST, and Le Cadeau Du Cheval – The Horse Gift.”

Each piece results in a stunning mural that is enjoyed by all who have participated, and come to view the amazing mural.
