Marc Seguin

Marc Séguin obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Concordia University and now splits his time between his home in Montréal, Québec and his Brooklyn, New York studio. Touching on themes of the politically backwards, the environmentally compromised and the socially divided, his work reveals deeper truths about the nature of humanity through images that are not only thought provoking, but beautifully elegiac.

Since 2000, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec have all acquired major works by Marc Séguin. His prints and paintings can be found in numerous Canadian corporate collections and those of major private Canadian and American collectors. To date, Marc Séguin has held more than 20 solo shows and participated in many more group exhibitions and art fairs around the world, including Madrid, Barcelona, Venice, Berlin, Cologne, New York, Miami, Chicago, Brussels and Namur.

Marc Séguin has also published 6 critically acclaimed fiction novels – La foi du braconnier, Hollywood, Nord Alice, Les Repentirs et Jenny Sauro – translated in English and German. Stealing Alice is his first feature film. His documentary The State of the Farm was released in September 2017.

Map Mosaic

Colonne

André Fournelle

“A cracked column, made of concrete (a seemingly eternal contemporary material). But also a cracked structure that represents, in architecture, strength and grandeur. The work appears as a social commentary on ostentation and the passing of time.”

Monument à Émile Nelligan

Roseline Granet

“I lived in this neighborhood for many years, and the Nelligan monument was part of the landscape. Here, the work represents, like a marker, the creative force of a young nation trying to define itself through art. ”

Continuum 2009 (à la mémoire de Pierre Perrault)

Roland Poulin

“There's an assumed poetry here in the marriage of the two artists; the framing of a territory, so dear to Perrault, and the “sacred” art of Poulin. Both Perrault's and Poulin's work have been important beacons in my practice and thinking.”

Verre-écran

Marcelle Ferron

“We've certainly said it all about this glass roof, and now words fail us again when we stand in front of it and the light does the work. You can't help but smile and feel renewed vitality. ”

40 ans de l’expo 67

Artducommun

“I've walked past the Mission Old Brewery building a thousand times, and every time I do, I'm struck by it. There's a bold, feel-good vision of urban art in this work. Something crooked and dirty that ultimately forms an immense beauty of meaning. It's a sensitive, intelligent image and an extraordinary visual risk. ”
