HOME GROWN: acrylic, 36"x48"

For over 30  years as an architect and painter, I have explored numerous elements and situations

with-in natural and man made environments, which I instinctively find curious and deserving

of  further study. I seek to understand their essence. To probe the essence of my subjects,

I paint in a pure, simple and direct method.  I allow my subconscious instincts and conscious thoughts

to direct my brushes in a lively sort of performance art, a juggling act, mixing deliberate action with

spontaneous responsive strokes.

Successful paintings activate the viewers conscious and subconscious mind, to discern the subjects aura.

They also contain a degree of the unexplained, and are open to interpretation. My paintings have

a life of their own, and often I return to them for insight,  finding the seeds of new works, thus

ensuring the continuum of expression.            Marc L. Gagnon
