robert deschênes

Montreal-born Robert Deschênes navigates the spectrum of painting, installation, and performance, using all surfaces—from glass to asphalt—as a medium for expression. His gestural technique, by turns harsh and spontaneous, combines the injection of color and the projection of water, in a style that oscillates between abstract expressionism and metaphorical figuration. Through his spectacular works, he conveys passion, fear, audacity, and the profound vibration of life; he invites us to experience the spirituality of the world through the movement, raw emotion, and light that pierce his canvases.
