Artist Statement:
Born in Montreal, Canada.
I have studied Visual Arts at
Concordia University in
Montréal, and at the State
Academy of Fine Arts in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I
lived for eight years in
Europe and presently am living
in Canada.
After finishing my studies at
Concordia University, my work
became more and more
realistic, free from the
overtly formalistic teachings
of the University. I started
to explore what remains still
today my main area of interest
in my art:
'everyday life, everyday
people'
These works started out as
large sized oil pastel
drawings, evolving to acrylic
on paper and here you see oil
on canvas. I've painted about
a dozen of those works over 2
years and haven't really
touched the medium since then.
The last work of the series
'Mack the knife' is sadly
today missing and most likely
destroyed.
Since 1990 I’ve been mostly
making site-specific
installations.
On my site,
www.guygiard.fr.fm, you will
find an overview 20 years of
artworks in drawings,
paintings, sculptures,
installations, performances,
and more. You will also find
many links to other art
resources and artists.
