Camille Saint-Jacques: So, can we say that Louis Cane is a Master today?
Louis Cane: "Louis Cane, painter" is enough for me; Master is another matter. What I do is not yet recognized as a style, because I paint very precisely outside of consensus. Curiously, this murmur that Louis Cane is a "great colorist" is already a designation others apply to my work. [...]
C.S.J.: Why sculpture in recent years?
L.C.: It may answer one of my fantasies, which is to touch everything. Or else, on the level of pleasure, I would tell you that at a certain point it became necessary for me to experiment with volume, to return to volume, in order to see what my pictorial gesture could produce in three dimensions.
