GILLES MARCOU

ARTIST STATEMENT

“My greatest hope and only desire is that whomever acquires my work draws hope, energy and a sense of well-being from it.

The bird attracts me particularly…they speak to our inner selves and have an enchanting side.  Birds are the only free animals that we live in harmony with.  They bring life, colour, and spontaneity to even the most urbanized settings.

Each painting becomes an exploration.  When I start, I don’t know where it will take me.  The instinctive gesture of the untried subject is my guide.  I wait for the moment when the image comes to life.  I go in search of perfection but to reach this ideal, I must remain honest and respect my rhythm.  I need to retain my freedom of expression.”

BIOGRAPHY

Gilles comes from a family of artists.  In his youth he created caricatures and then became interested in painting.  His artistic interests are wide ranging, from engraving, stained glass and even writing poetry.  His style is uniquely his, which he explores with curiosity and abandon. He was born in Montréal, QC in 1964, lives and works in Sainte-Adèle, Quebec.

    FRAMING

    Towne Square Gallery offers exquisite custom framing, carrying an impressive array of wooden picture frame mouldings from leading Canadian suppliers. Quality framing not only protects the artwork, it enhances the art. A truly great work of art has the power to capture your attention. It can transform your surroundings evoking a feeling or mood. When art is fused with the perfect frame, it creates a harmonious union.

    To achieve this goal and assist you with the selection process, we showcase hundreds of frame designs of the highest quality wooden picture frame mouldings, handmade in Europe by master artisans backed by centuries of old world craftsmanship and tradition. Our collection ranges from classical water gild and gold leaf, through rustic hand carved to chic and contemporary.

    As an additional interior decorating element complementing your space, we offer custom made mirrors. Available in any size and shape, our mirrors are fashioned from an impressive collection of mouldings to suit your taste and needs. Our expert design and professional framing advice will help you make the best selection to match your décor.

    Art is an investment, so too is the art that frames it. Your satisfaction is our greatest success.
