ARTIST BIO

Michel Saulnier first studied art history before deciding to create art. At the end of the 1970s, he began his Bachelor’s at the Université Laval. However, he completed his studies and graduated from the Université de Montréal.

Saulnier quickly acquired a professional status thanks to support from a private gallery and creative bursaries issued by the Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec and the Canadian Council for Arts. After having his work showcased in several Montreal galleries, Saulnier’s work was put on display in New York (Columbia University, 1985) before participating in the Les temps chauds (Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal) collective exhibit in 1988. Since then, his art has been displayed in Quebec, Japan and Germany.

He has been teaching art history and plastic arts at the Cégep de La Pocatière since 1995. He also seated on various selection committees as a specialist for several contests involving many different government organizations.

Saulnier mainly sculpts with wood and is able to evoke a confrontation between popular and contemporary art in his art – a relation marking his interest for representations of animals. His creative process allows his imagination to run free and associate ideas comfortably. However, it is through Saulnier’s mastery in manipulating his medium that gives his pieces such poetic imagery.
