Marcel Barbeau, Le Sourire du Jour 26x26 in / 66.04x66.04 cm evokes a brilliant light and abstract forms reminiscent of a sunrise. The use of acrylic gives this work a unique texture and vibrancy.

“Marcel Barbeau's artistic career now spans over 70 years of creation. Painter, sculptor, dancer, performer, his contribution to our recent art history and to our modernity is undeniable. And this goes far beyond his automatist period.

His pictorial and spatial language has evolved over time through a multitude of formal and chromatic explorations that, even today, enrich his entire approach. Indeed. In retrospect, we observe the formidable diversity that characterizes his long artistic reflection. A journey that, without abstracting it, largely transcends the purely aesthetic dimension.

Original, audacious, and a great lover of dance and contemporary music, Marcel Barbeau never stayed in his comfort zone. Over the years and periods, he constantly sought new creative territories.

Winner of the Paul-Émile-Borduas Prize in 2013, the most important distinction for a visual artist in Quebec, Marcel Barbeau is undoubtedly one of the great living artists of our modernity. Moreover, recent years have been particularly fruitful in awards of all kinds, throughout the country.” Robert Bernier
