- (FEW DETAILS OF THE PRIMAVERA COLLECTION) -
The Primavera’s impulsion came in the middle of a multi-media
Museum installation (Il Castello di Lupinari), in Tuscany, Italy.
Suddenly, the spring with its thousands of flowers and birds felt on me, called me actually to stop for a moment and abandon myself in this pure pleasure of paint, in this strictly joyful and happy expression of colors and forms.
And then was born the Primavera’s series.
These are the only ones created in Miami.
For me they are an addition, a symbol of hope, another indication that freedom of expression is the core concept of art.

- - Antonina Zaro* has written: Although a diligent experimenter that also applies a complex assortment of mediums (photography, video, installation, performance, digital work), Cerj Lalonde remains above all an extraordinary painter.
- - Christine Becket** has written:
Cerj, we are absolutely blown away by your magnificent work…
Our whole house will never be the same again. It is like our home has “come into its own”, like it has found its soul…
Cerj, thank you, thank you, every day I see something new in your work, and I know this will always be so, even after years and years.
You have given us a living being, a magnificent work of art. Thank you, from both James and me, from the children as well, from the bottom of ou hearts…
- - Leo Rosshandler*** has written:
Cerj Lalonde's art cannot be confined to local or national borders. The artist is part of the great non-objective movement born from analytical cubism, which ranges from the Russian avant-garde to present day minimalism, post-modern abstraction and post-conceptual art. Lalonde situates himself at the meeting point of these various tendencies and thereby develops a highly personal visual language. It seems to me that this painter actually opens new insights into the aesthetic trends on which his work is based. He extends their scope by adding a subtle psychological tone as well as a perception of greater intimacy. Indeed, his practice of abstraction carries with it a philosophical dimension.
- - Amalia Caputo **** has written:
Cerj Lalonde moves smoothly from the canvas to the camera, from computers to installations, producing and showcasing an extraordinarily rich and complex body of work created during the last 20 years. His purpose is to pursue a direct and, in each case, a different communication with the spectator... His paintings, installations, photographs and web pages are intended to function each in its own way, as an overt revision and critique of the contemporary art system, as they establish parallel dialogues between the artist, the public, and the curatorial values...
