Louis Belzile, La Sérénité 14×18 in / 35.56×45.72 cm

Louis Belzile, La Sérénité 14x18 in / 35.56×45.72 cm is a minimalist work of great refinement created in 1986. This oil on canvas painting captures a sense of calm and inner peace, characteristic of the artist's refined and minimalist style. The soft nuances and subtle forms create an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and harmony.

Louis Belzile, along with Fernand Toupin, Jauran (Rodolphe de Repentigny), and Jean-Paul Jérôme, was part of the initial Plasticiens movement which, in 1955, at a notable exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, launched the Plasticiens Manifesto. Quebec and Canadian painting had been experiencing, since the early 1940s, a great creative effervescence, where abstraction claimed to be the language of pictorial renewal.

There were many debates between proponents of figuration and those of abstraction, and even among sympathizers of both schools of thought. It was in this electrifying context that Louis Belzile established himself as a painter of modernity. His painting retained from his Plasticiens past all the rigor of composition. Over the years, his language was enriched by a gestural flexibility that built light through a dreamlike quality evocative of his inner world.
