…here is the result of the project on which I dedicated myself for two month.The painting is composed of eight panels made from steel studs and plywood andcovered with coton canvas. Each panel is 16’ height by 8’ width and the wholehas 61’ by 16’. The initial idea of the project comes from Pierre Martin andAnnie Saucier, architects, the sketches were made by Annie Saucier and me and,finally, I conducted and realized the painting in a workshop.
The painting represents an abstract composition evocating the sea and the sky.There’s a boat in a storm on the second panel which can somehow remember us ofthe firsts men who came across the sea to discover Canada.
It’s installed in the main hall of a brand new federal building in a new eco-districtof Quebec City.
New magazine cover
A new cover made for the literary magazine Chameaux. This is the number four on ” monsters ” in literature.
New gallery
I just bought a new flash gallery (Simpleviewer Pro) for the website. It must make the navigation much easier. Now there is also the possibility to launch a diaporama and to put each gallery in full screen.
Landscape, Finland
Here is a new painting inspired by the finnish landscapes. I made a few sketches after a walk in the surroundings of my flat in Hervanta and then decided to make a whole painting out of it.

New exhibitions.
Before my departure for Finland I decided to make two new exhibitions in Quebec city. Indeed, the first one will take place at La Korrigane Brewery (380 Dorchester St, Quebec) from november 3 until november 29. The second one will be installed the 30th of november and will last until the 27th of december at La Barberie Brewery ( 310 St-Roch St., Quebec).
Exhibition!
Finally, I made a new exhibition of my paintings after two years. In fact, It’s an exhibition of paintings and prints, which allow me to fulfill the space available. If you pass in Quebec city go visit Brûlerie St-Roch (375 St-Joseph street, in front of Gabrielle-Roy library). I split the space with Drea, a very talented artist. The exhibition is on for the entire month of september.
