Galerie Beauchamp

On Saturday the 7^th and Sunday the 8^th of February, there was quite a lot of activity going on at the Beauchamp Art Gallery of Baie-Saint-Paul. (16, rue St-Jean Baptiste.)

Both Marie-Linda Bluto and Yvon St-Aubin were present at the Beauchamp Art  Gallery and were more than happy to answer the customer’ s questions on their various techniques. All of the viewers were captivated by both of the artists’ work. Over the weekend, in front of all of the customers, Bluto worked on several small pieces (36X6), and St-Aubin finished a 24X30 painting entitled Souvenir du Temps D’ Une Paix. 

This event was certainly an experience for the senses and what a sight it was for the eyes!  Both artists work so differently. St-Aubin uses vigorous and energetic brushstrokes that well depict his paintings and the vibrant colours that he uses also captures the essence of his character. Bluto, on the other hand, uses paintbrush strokes that are as soft and sensual as are her paintings. Her colour scheme is also very representative of how gentle and sensitive she is.

The event that took place at the Beauchamp Art Gallery of Baie-Saint-Paul was certainly a rewarding experience for anyone who attended the live painting performance of both Bluto and St-Aubin. The paintings that the artists worked on can be seen and purchased at the Beauchamp Art Gallery of Baie-Saint-Paul located at 16, rue St-Jean-Baptiste and at one of the four Beauchamp Art Gallery of Quebec City located at 50, rue Notre-Dame.

The week-end of St-Valentines was certainly very festive at the Beauchamp Art Gallery of Baie-St-Paul. Two very charming artists were present at the gallery which rejoiced all of the customers. Two very different men, whose style of painting is also very diverse. The exchange the artists had with one another, and with the customers, was quite refreshing and gratifying for both parties.

Carl Camiré’s approach to Art is a very spiritual and symbolic one. While Marcel Coté’s approach is based on a humanitarian level. As one artist is preoccupied with transmitting a message, the other is very much concerned and implicated with the human condition and those less fortunate…

It was very interesting to see both personalities wander and interact with the numerous  customers who attended the event in Baie-St-Paul:

Carl Camiré brought 15 new paintings to the event and answered questions that related to his source of inspiration and to the message he tries to convey through his paintings. A spiritual message on Energy and on how one must be sensitive to the signs that are sent from above. In his paintings, the tree symbolizes life, and his skies, in proportion to the earth, are always more abundant. However, never once did he reveal his secret as to his technique and the intricate mediums he uses.

Marcel Coté started a 30X48 inch painting in front of the public who could not get their eyes off of his meticulous work. A new attraction was added to his painting, perhaps a glimpse of what he will be painting over the summer… The beautiful, intricate flowers were still part of his painting however. As time was scarce, he was not able to finish his painting but we await it anxiously.   

One may find both Carl Camiré and Marcel Coté’s paintings at the Beauchamp Art Gallery of Baie-St-Paul;16, rue St-Jean-Baptiste. As well as find Camiré’s paintings at the Beauchamp Art Gallery Royale et Associés; 124, cote de la Montagne, Quebec, and Coté’s paintings at the Beauchamp Art gallery Royale; 53, rue St-Pierre, Quebec.
