Pierre Nadeau
Now exclusive in Nova Scotia to our gallery. Having painted for more than 50 years, Pierre was invited to exhibit at The Louvre in Paris is Dec., 2017. Then awarded a lifetime membership to the prestigious Paris “Society of Arts, Letters, and Science” in June, 2018.
Pierre, who is mainly self taught has painted for more than fifty years and is strongly influenced by the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson. His impressionist style reflects mood, movement, and constantly “the light”. Pierre’s first solo show was at the Laurier Museum in Quebec when he was just sixteen years old. That exhibit had completely sold out and he has over his career displayed in numerous solo and group shows nationally.
He had eight very successful years as curator of “Crombie House” and the Sobeys Art Foundation with the Sobeys being one of his major collectors.
In the spring of 2017 Pierre was invited by the Louvre in Paris to show in Dec. 2017 where his wide recognition resulted in him being awarded, in June of 2018, a lifetime membership to the prestigious society of “Arts, Letters, and Science of Paris”
I have painted for more than fifty years. My oils in fauve colors and the contrasting forms I present to you, deliver the wild beauty of a rich and intact nature. I am strongly inspired by the work of the “Group of Seven” and Tom Thompson. My varied interpretations of nature come from my deeply personal involvement with it. I am constantly fascinated by the luminosity and the shadows of the landscape, which I try to transpose on canvas with rigor and assurance. The subjects I choose are rendered to you in an impressionistic style. My interpretation of mood, movement and forms is always evident in my works. In each of my paintings, you are constantly reminded of my trusted accomplice, The Light.
About Pierre
In 2018, his only solo show, and the first since The Louvre Exhibit, was at Down To Earth Art Gallery. Having presented Pierre’s work as far back as fourteen years we were proud to host this dynamic, highly successful show. It brought together some of his biggest collectors to acquire many of his much sought after works. We were thrilled to able to acquire the three originals exhibited at The Louvre for our customers.
Pierre then exhibited at the Grand Palais, Paris in February, 2020, and again in February, 2022. Later in June, 2022, he exhibited three paintings at the Salon International D’Art Contemporain, Monaco. Down To Earth Art Gallery is extremely proud to have secured the paintings from all of these shows for our gallery clients prior to them being exhibited. Down To earth Art gallery is Pierre’s only solo show for the 2022 year, where we will have the three paintings from the Monaco show, as well as L’Ile Aux Pirates, from the Grand Palais exhibit.
