(BULL’S EYE: A PAINTER ON THE WATCH)A boreal forest, in the fall. A man wearing a face mask is on the watch. Camouflaged in the bush, he holds his gun at the ready. Is he a serial killer or just a trophy hunter? He’s neither. He’s an artist waiting for an animal and that elusive moment when the image for a work will come to him.
At age 40, Marc Séguin is considered one of the most talented painters of his generation. His works have been shown around the world and collectors impatiently await each new exhibition. A student of Molinari and an admirer of Riopelle, Séguin paints complex, genre-crossing pieces that never cease to amaze. This hunter of images and game is keenly attuned to his natural surroundings, drawing inspiration for his unique creations.
Séguin might be attached to the land and traditional craftsmanship, but his art is very much of its time. Unhurried and deliberate, he also works in feverish bursts, creating without compromise. At once sombre, vivid and profound, his paintings compellingly blur the line between life and death. Yet he’s the picture of tranquility as he collects buckets of maple sap and tends his vegetable garden, with his four children looking on …
Bull’s Eye: A Painter on the Watch offers a rare glimpse into the world of an artist who paints like he hunts: with patience, faith and desire. The desire to live and create, working in Montreal and New York, and spending time in the vast wilderness in order to reach his target: a breathtaking image on canvas.
MARC SÉGUINMarc Séguin graduated with distinction from Concordia University’s Fine Arts program. In 1998, he received the Prix Pierre-Ayot for outstanding young artists. He is recognized as one of the most talented Canadian painters of his generation, and his works are part of major public and private collections in Canada and abroad. He divides his time between Montreal and Brooklyn, and his pieces are regular fixtures on the contemporary art circuit: New York, Miami, Chicago, Hong Kong, Madrid, Basel, Cologne and Venice. His works appeal to different audiences: Hommage à Rothko, for instance, appears on the cover of the Quebec group Karkwa’s latest album, Les chemins de verre. Séguin has also written a debut novel, La foi du braconnier, published by Leméac, which recently won the Prix littéraire des collégiens 2010. (MARCSEGUIN.COM)
BRUNO BOULIANNEWith a background in architecture and communications, Bruno Boulianne first got noticed on the Radio-Canada television program La Course Europe-Asie in 1990–91. He went on to direct the documentary Un cirque sur le fleuve, which won the Best Hope Award at the 1994 Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois. Fascinated by the relationship between people and their environment, he has made some fifteen films that have garnered several awards, including the Grand Prize and People’s Choice Award for Le Compteur d’oiseaux at the 2005 Festival de films de Portneuf sur l’environnement, and the NFB Award for Best Canadian Film at the 23rd Festival Vues d’Afrique in Montreal for Le prix de l’exode, shot in Mali. His most recent film, the feature-length documentary Bull’s Eye: A Painter on the Watch, recently won the ARTV Springboard to the World Award, at the 28th International Festival of Films on Art in Montreal. •
