These large, oil, pastel and wax drawings are poetic distillations of the artists’ interpretation of water. The influences for the drawings are the scenes of the inlets, bays and ocean bordering Mushaboom, Nova Scotia.

“It has always amazed me how many contemporary American painters remain so impervious to their own landscape.”
– Jonathan Janson

In these recent paintings, the artist been drawn to the simple, low lines of suburban dwellings, many with an unmanned car parked on a cement driveway.  The discreet suburban panorama evokes a dreamy, but disturbing beauty where bright color seems superfluous

Jean-Pierre Seguin creates a portrait using thousands of polychromed beads to produce or obtain, on the same surface, a figurative and abstract version of his subject. He achieves a concrete and realistic result from an abstract context and thereby derives a conceptual work.

These paintings concern the notion of an animal which is traveling to an unidentified world. The soft light and the atmosphere (water, fog, tonalities) contribute to the mystery of the environment transforming what would otherwise be mundane, recognizable animals into new creatures. The artist is concerned with light and the way it circulates through each painting. In these new works, composed of pigment and engraved steel, light itself becomes an intrinsic part of the medium.
