Large, very expressive painting in warm orange and cobalt blue tones. Painted on panel, this scene of the Laurentian Park perfectly represents the artist's expressive style.
About the artist
Louis Tremblay (1949-) is a Quebecois expressionist painter whose work celebrates the wild landscapes of Quebec, particularly the Laurentian Park.
From a young age, he became acquainted with the painter René Richard, a friend of his father who encouraged him to pursue an artistic career.
He studied at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi from 1980 to 1985 before studying art history at Université Laval from 1985 to 1986 and in 1991.
In 1969, he won the Grand Prix of the Baie-Saint-Paul Symposium, which allowed him to spend six weeks in France.
The subjects he depicts are mainly semi-abstract landscapes, rural scenes from Baie-Saint-Paul, Kamouraska, and Gaspésie.
A member of the Institute of Figurative Arts, Louis's reputation was established through some thirty exhibitions across Quebec.
His works can be found in various public and private collections in Quebec City, Alcan, Pratt and Whitney, the French Consulate in Quebec, Power Corporation, Desjardins, I.B.M., the Bank of Nova Scotia, and Inter Gas of Toronto.
