Le Mariage

“LE MARIAGE” - 36” X 30” - Acrylic and mixed media on wood. This personalized commission was offered for dear friends as their wedding gift. It was for me a great honour to paint this piece to commemorate this meaningful event. The bride wears a red dress that matches her hair and also reminds us of the cherry colour (her favourite fruit). On her heart side, we notice the IMAGE DE MARK’s logo, workplace where our lovebirds met. Two maple leaves illustrate the family “sugar shack” and also the life continuation of her mother and brother. The piece of fabric…

TOMBER DANS LES POMMES

TOMBER DANS LES POMMES - 18” X 18” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. This French expression "to fall in the apples" means to faint or, in this case, to be flabbergasted or go into ecstasy. Well, this painting, says it all. This young actor and model, in his spare time, has been painted several times in my different versions of “FRIDA AND HER CAT”. He was looking forward to his new role, so here it is! Texture: Plaster, wire mesh and newspaper articles.

le touriste local

LE TOURISTE LOCAL - 18” x 24” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Because of what we have been experiencing with the restrictions related to COVID-19, Quebecers had to bring out their creative side. In fact, with the government recommendations requiring us to avoid travelling outside of the province, many of us took the opportunity to visit new little gems on our own turf. Therefore, this character went on an adventure sometimes by bicycle or sometimes in a Volkswagen Beetle during his summer vacation. Embedded within the layers of paint, I challenge you to find the maps of several…

GIN & TONIQUE

“GIN & TONIQUE” - 28” X 20” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Those who know me well, know that I am behind supporting local businesses. One could say that the COVID pandemic has made this even more important to me than ever. In this painting, I have incorporated many local gins as well as 1642 tonic, also a local product. The colours I chose have a special significance in this piece. Certain gins (like the Bleu Royal brand) change colours when something acidic such as tonic or lemon are added. A beautiful display of colours appears in front…

LE GARS DU PLATEAU

LE GARS DU PLATEAU - 18” X 24" – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Here we have a hip dude who lives on the famous neighbourhood of Montreal’s Plateau. He doesn’t own a car so he gets around on a BIXI or by public transit. He reads LE PLATEAU newspaper as well as other local publications. This guy is down to earth. In fact he wears earthy tones very well like shades of brown, gray, beige, rust as well as a variety of reds and blues to compliment these colours. Embedded within the layers of paint, one might notice…

Fleurs sur méditerranée

Fleurs sur méditerranée - 20” x 28” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. This floral arrangement with a perched dove was inspired by several paintings of this style that I painted in the past. This time, the flowers composed of pink, salmon and purple tones harmonize very well with the light blue sky shimmering on the calming turquoise of the Mediterranean Sea. Between the layers of paint, you will find newspaper articles, crossword puzzles as well as comics of our famous Quebec cartoonist Michel Rebagliati. Texture: plaster and fabrics from my mother-in-law.

STARFISH

STARFISH
 - 24” X 18” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. This eccentric swimmer was inspired by my series of “sunfish” which I love to paint over and over again. As most of you know, I have a bias toward this fish species that most despise. I have always been captivated by its vivid colours sparkling in the sunlight. Within the many layers of paint, you detect items that make me smile such as: the Batman symbol, several trademarks reminding me of my childhood, the Olympic rings, Montreal newspaper articles (on the 1976 Olympics) and comics by our favorite…
