About Jacques Hurtubise

Showcasing the major career highlights and some of the most recent work of abstract painter Jacques Hurtubise, this lavishly illustrated volume captures the key works of Hurtubise's formidable fifty-plus year career, many of which have never been brought together in a major exhibition or publication. This exceptional collection offers new insight into the development of Hurtubise's work -- from his early graphic abstract paintings of the 1960s and 1970s to his mask paintings and the brushy paintings and stencil work of his Blackout series. His latest map-based work, which brings together the passion of his "sun" series and the exotic and hypnotic lines of his "masks" and "splash" paintings, brings his mastery of the medium to the fore. Hurtubise's bright, geometric patterning has often prompted comparisons to Claude Tousignant, Guido Molinari, and Yves Gaucher. His unique sensitivity as a printmaker, his masterful brushwork and repeated imagery sets his work apart as uniquely his own. Designed to accompany a major national touring exhibition organized by the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Jacques Hurtubise features essays by curators Sarah Fillmore and Bernard Lamarche, writers and critics Jeffrey Spalding and Renß Viau, and art historian Nathalie Miglioli. Cette monographie abondamment illustrée présente les principaux jalons de plus de conquante ans de carrière de l'artiste Jacques Hurtubise. On y recense sa production actuelle ainsi que ses oeuvres phares, dont un grand nombre n'avaient jamais été réunies auparavant. La compilation exceptionnelle permet de mieux comprendre l'évolution d'Hurtubise, depuis ses premiers travaux graphiques des années 1960 et 1970 jusqu'à ses masques, ses tableaux aux traits ardents et le recours au stencil dans sa série Blackout. Ses oeuvres plus récentes réalisées à partir de cartes routières -- qui allient la passion qui habite ses « soleils » et les lignes exotiques et hypnotiques de ses « masques » et de ses « éclaboussures » -- témoignent de sa pleine maîtrise des techniques les plus variées. Les formes géométriques abstraites aux couleurs vives de cet artiste ont souvent suscité des comparaisons avec Claude Tousignant, Guido Molinari et Yves Gaucher. Toutefois, la sensibilité particulièrement manifeste d'Hurtubise dans ses gravures, sa technique maîtrisée de la peinture et la répétition des motifs le distinguent de ses contemporains.
