ST. GILLES (b. 1956, Quebec) Impressionist Landscape

Winter landscape. Oil on masonite 20 x 16 in., 27 1/2 x 23 1/2 in. (framed). St-Gilles, painter, was born in Quebec in 1956. He studied at the Sainte-Foy College and holds a DEC diploma. He started studying painting at a very young age. He fashioned himself after Arthur Genest, then Paul Brien, Mario Mauro and Bruno Côté. It was Bruno Côté who introduced Charlevoix to him. He went on research journeys in France, Italy, the Canadian North and the Iles-de-la-Madeleine. Before his 25th birthday, St-Gilles held his first individual exposition in 1979. Since 1999, his love of nature has created a devotion to a grand challenge; to visit the entire country in search of exceptional sites to compose a collection of more or less 120 large-size canvasses which will be the subject of a permanent exhibition.Source:http://www.egi-art.com/en/artistes/84--St-Gilles/
