Biography

Marco Henrie, a Canadian painter who was born in Hull in 1971, is passionate about the visual arts! It was here, at the border of Quebec and Ontario, that he discovered his many artistic talents. Indeed, even if his first loves with Quebec culture will be through his talents as a singer-songwriter, it is the visual arts that will allow him to better channel his creative impulses. His thirst for authenticity opens up new horizons for him as he evolves in the field that in no way foreshadowed a career in this fabulous universe of the arts. His artistic impulses are intensified by the evolution of his own approach and the many recognitions of his environment. The canvases become larger and more and more numerous, new techniques and new tools are explored, the gestures are free, open, the movements are made wider, it seems almost of dance. The artist and his artwork breathe freely and deeply.

With passion, Marco Henrie plunges brilliantly into the world of images, shapes, colors, brushes and spatulas… But, far from abandoning music, he rather integrates it in his process of creation, it brings out in his emotions and sketches of a forgotten past or reprimand to which mingle those of the present and of life that continues. In addition, he devotes long periods of time to discovering the inconceivable cultural heritage of the great painters who shaped the face of the arts. He especially likes Jean-Paul Riopelle, Jean-Philippe Dallaire, Alfred Pellan, Edmund Alleyn, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Alberto Giacometti, which in fact stimulates his interest. Each canvas becomes for this self-taught an exhilarating journey, a plunge into the void and into the unknown, the hours spent out of time, alone in front of the canvas where takes shape, often in the middle of the night, a surprising story that ends with a painting that is both recognition and distancing of something about oneself. Each painting is the prelude of a new journey, each painting calls for another.

To paint, Marco Henrie lets himself be lulled into a kind of endless pilgrimage, always in search of a work borrowed from a unique A.D.N. but, unpretentious, possibly meaningful for men and women from all over the world.
