HOMMAGE À MARILYN MONROE

A multidisciplinary artist who has been working in the artistic community for over 25 years, Jean Gaudreau is now a must in the Quebec art market and is well known to all contemporary art lovers.

Jean Gaudreau is one of the most committed artists in Quebec City: he is a fervent defender of the city's heritage. This affection for Quebec City is reflected in his works, which combine sculpture and painting. His attachment to the city is also reflected in his close collaboration with Cirque du Soleil and his partnership with none other than Robert Lepage for the development of the visuals for the Image Mill in 2009 and 2010. Jean Gaudreau also puts his expertise to work for various organizations such as the Mental Illness Foundation, the Quebec Youth Foundation, the Alzheimer's Society, and the GRIS Québec organization (an organization that aims to abolish prejudices towards LGBTQ+) by offering his works to multiple fundraisers and auctions.

Sa démarche artistique se caractérise par son impulsivité, sa spontanéité et son instinct artistique indéniable. Il s’inscrit de façon remarquable dans la tendance artistique contemporaine tout en conservant sa touche singulière et assumée. Son œuvre est profondément inspirée par le monde circassien et l’univers de la danse. Riche de collaborations avec ces deux milieux, on sent dans ses œuvres un mouvement dynamique et fluide. Ces deux mondes à part représentent l’idéal de liberté bohémienne de l’artiste.

Jean Gaudreau doesn't paint the world, he paints his own universe with various organic materials such as aged wood or oxidized copper in an eventful and spontaneous gesture. For Jean Gaudreau, art is a visceral activity. Painting represents more than a passion: it is an insatiable need. It is not only a way of life, but also a reason to exist.
