Oil on board landscape. Signed and attr. Roger Cantin (Canadian, b.1930) on lower right corner. 11 x 17 inch (28 x 44 cm). Roger Cantin, self-taught painter , was born in Quebec in 1930. His art is impulsive and spontaneous. As soon as an idea comes to mind , always simple, rarely picturesque , he materializes on canvas with astonishing mastery of form and color . We particularly Quebec houses he camped with a hint of gentle melancholy. His palette of soft heat reveals a lively and diluted without excess dough. In his paintings, blues and ochres of great tenderness oppose refined white. We then feel the softness of a being in full communion with the landscape, the sky, earth, space, infinity. Everything here is meditation, peace, love.
