{"title":"Mes inspirations quotidiennes par Yvon Gallant","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eYvon Gallant, RCA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBorn in Moncton, Yvon Gallant has lived there most of his life, except for the two years he spent in Montreal (1987-1989). Life and art are intrinsically linked in the visual stories of Gallant's vibrant paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOne of the first generation of graduates from the visual arts department at l'Université de Moncton in 1976, Yvon Gallant's Acadianness found its own unique form and style of artistic expression when he was still a student. While absorbing the teachings of flamboyant modernism and contemporary art history, Gallant naturally gravitated to the familiar popular 'folk' forms and sensibilities that surrounded his upbringing and were part of his everyday life. Storytelling, along with its myths and superstitions, family rituals and social occasions, people and friends around him were ready-made subjects for his paintings. His keen eye, ever-watchful, quickly picked out the nuances of a good story - often spiced with wicked humour, parody, and playfulness - and cut through pretensions and mannerisms to sketch out a picture. Everything and anything was potentially a subject for his paintings, and he freely embellished and decorated them, like all tales inevitably are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAmassed side-by-side since the mid-1970s, these visual stories by Yvon Gallant stand as a collective album of contemporary Acadian life, including lively portraits of the Moncton artistic community (many of whom served as accommodating models), as well as a diary of Gallant's own life (aches and pains included). Significant hallmarks of his style are the featureless 'blank' faces of his figures, exaggerated hands, and the black outlined images enclosing shapes of colors with their striking overlays of tonalities and textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThrough a Canada Arts Council grant, he created a series of large paintings where characters, real and mythical inspired by Monctonians, become symbols of the spirit and of the identity of a particular social milieu. Yvon Gallant possesses a lucid mind tinted by a laconic humour which attempts to outsmart the hypocrisy and prejudice present in his community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOver the course of his career, Yvon has participated in countless individual and collective showings in Atlantic Canada, in other areas of the country and in Paris, France and the Dominican Republic. In 2011, Yvon received the Lt. Governor’s Award for Excellence in Visual Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWatch him speak about being part of the group exhibition, Ode to Fredericton, on display from June 19 - July 11, 2020:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uOP_ek53iS0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"deux-musiciennes-a-lhotel-de-ville-de-moncton-20651","title":"Deux musiciennes à l'hotel de ville de Moncton","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Deux musiciennes à l'hotel de ville de Moncton\" was painted in 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is presented in a 2 in. deep light pine floating frame.
