Étienne Chartrand

In the continuity of classical painting, Étienne Chartrand paints images of aesthetics opposite the apogee of the Renaissance. The metaphysical stakes of painting are present in his pictorial work; several objects and creatures come to life in these spaces to build a mythology. Etienne finds his inspiration in cartoons, graffiti, as well as painting "abstract constructivism" and "automatism". He studied graphic design at the Université du Québec in Montréal and is currently completing his master's degree in painting and drawing at Concordia University.
