artistic approach:
Originally from Quebec, Benoit Genest Rouillier has been painting for over 20 years.
For more than 10 years, the artist has participated in several individual and group exhibitions across the province.
Benoit's artistic approach questions the turmoil of human beings torn between their moments of struggle and peace. He gives a preponderant place to the accident of the gesture which constantly shifts the balance of the elements, like an improvised choreography.
Each canvas is eclectic and directly linked to his impulses. A dialogue between the plastic surface and the artist takes place, thus giving form to an embodied life.
It is by sculpting and modeling color and material that he is inspired by the expressionism where communication happens through emotion and immediate perception. Sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract, his paintings convey the ambiguity and tension of the painter's "inner chaos".
