(1943~)<\/div>\n

Born in Montreal on March 15th 1943, Andre Perreault began his schooling in Venezuela and Trinidad.From that young age he was seduced as much by the musical as the visual world. At that early stage he gained the admiration of teachers and schoolmates alike with his drawings of celebrities: Roy Rogers, Hemingway, Elvis…As a young man he entered the world of songwriters and “chansonniers” and in 1973 he was awarded a prize for one of his compositions in a national songwriters’ contest organized by radio-Canada (Title of the song: to the heart of the Indian).However, it was the visual expression, which won the battle. In 1975 after graduating at Montreal’s College Enthusiastic in graphic arts and with the encouragement of fellow artist, Allan Edwards, Andre decided to concentrate his energy painting in watercolours.Adventurously searching for new horizons he crossed the country numerous times with camera, drawing pad, brushes and paints; painting its people and picturesque corners.For more than a decade he anchored north of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where, from his studio, he works at perfecting his art, creating watercolours in its purest form thus refusing the use of opaque paints or other tricks-of-the-trade.In 1994, feeling he has been gone too long from his native Quebec, he packed his materials and for one last time crossed Canada to settle down in the picturesque area of St.Ferreol-les-Neiges in the charlevoix region.In addition to his watercolour painting, seeking new outlets of expression, he now works in acrylics creating from memory spontaneous images imbued with energy and perspective.<\/p>\n
