<p>This first monograph on the conceptual work of the Montreal-based artist features fifteen years of prodigious creation around the investigation of time. A wristwatch that takes an entire millennium to to complete one rotation (Lost in Time), and a film depicting a pianist suspended from the ceiling of a concert hall playing a piece by Guillaume Lekeu (180°) are just of few of the works that address and in fact embody the concept of transformation.

This ambitious foray into painting as it is practiced throughout Canada today tackles an almost overwhelming subject to discover clearly distinguishable movements and tendencies each with its own characteristics, resources and objectives. Closely reviewing the works of dozens of artists painting today, this generously illustrated publication reveals distinct and various artistic paths: figurative works aligned with the great pictorial tradition; figurative works imbued with symbolism and inspired by media, graphic novels and illustration; works about painting itself that integrate referential thematics and techniques; and works created in conjunction with other disciplines producing new works such as painting-objects and painting-photography. Accompanying the main essay are several original texts exploring different corollaries of this immense topic: the meaning of the human figure in current painting; the exhibition of current painting as a vehicle for identity definition; the passage from 20th century painting to 21st century painting; and the collection of current painting by national institutions. With 120 works reproduced in full color and complete biographical notices on all participating artists, this authoritative tome is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the redefined space that painting has claimed for itself in the visual arts in the 21st century. In English and French.
