Michel Pleau- Sculpter la lumière - Sculpting Light


The gallery has a limited number of copies of the new book release, " Michel Pleau - Sculpter la lumière - Sculpting Light", which would make a wonderful affordable gift item for art lovers on your list this holiday season. This is a lovely slim coffee table book about Canadian artist Michel Pleau's work, and his painting process with accompanying high quality images of his landscape paintings. The text by Suzette Emond is so beautifully written it reads like poetry as it shares the artist's spiritual connection and painting journey in nature. Inspired by the Group of Seven painters, especially Tom Thompson, Pleau's inclination remains to paint the beauty of nature and Canadian wilderness scenes in a spontaneous style that easily enthralls the viewer with its magic.

Michel Pleau is an accomplished Canadian painter and the recipient of various awards and distinction, including the Canadian painting Grand Prize in 1989. Since 1974 Michel has participated in over twenty group and solo exhibitions in galleries in North America and Europe. He is a member of the Figurative Arts Institute since 1999 and lives in the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec. Michel Pleau is represented by Tay River Gallery in Perth Ontario.
