Hubert CANCE

"Hubert Cance is an artist with a draftsman's hand and eye. His work ranges from fantasy explorations of the worlds of mysticism and shamanism to highly formalized aviation drawings and mechanical representations. The most recognizable aspect of Cance's art is the way he applies the strict tenets of mechanical design to drawings of machines, warriors, and scenes that exist only in his amazing imagination. Cance is equally at home depicting realistically drawn soldiers and military paraphernalia as soft pine tree landscapes. With a unique mix of Asian style and Gaelic culture Cance creates windows that communicate another way of viewing the world and understanding nature. His "Felementale" drawing series is the artist's interpretation of the essential spirits of the earth in gentle, feminine forms. Hubert Cance was born in Aurillac, in the Auvergne Valley region of France. The area, with its medieval fortifications and castles, has left an indelible mark on the artist's vision."
