Like his friend,
Fleury-Joseph
Crépin,
Lesage was a healer who
was guided by voices to paint the
beyond. Although first conceived
in private, this former coal miner’s
practice developed into a series of
public performances. The resulting
artworks, some monumental in
scale, were littered with overt
mystical, religious and historical
references, intended to convert
the uninitiated and reveal the
truth.
