PROVENANCE
Private Collection


En 1955, Fernand Toupin cosigne le Manifeste des Plasticiens avec Jauran (Rodolphe de Repentigny), Jean-Paul Jérôme et Louis Belzile. Il se fait d’abord connaitre pour ses œuvres issues de l’abstraction géométrique. Ses « shaped canvases », des tableaux aux formes irrégulières, représentent une contribution importante au mouvement des Plasticiens.

À la fin des années 1950, le travail de Toupin prend une nouvelle direction. L’artiste intègre une riche texture à ses tableaux en mélangeant des pigments à de la poussière de marbre. La matière abondante, qui semble jaillir de la toile, lui permet d’exprimer le paysage québécois.

In 1955, Fernand Toupin co-signed the Plasticiens Manifesto with Jauran (Rodolphe de Repentigny), Jean-Paul Jérôme and Louis Belzile. Initially gaining recognition with his geometric abstract works, Toupin’s “shaped canvases”, painted with irregular forms, are an important contribution to the Plasticiens movement.

At the end of the 1950s, Toupin’s work began to take a new direction. The artist integrated rich texture to his painting by mixing pigments with marble dust. The abundant matter, which seems to erupt from the canvas, is evocative of the Québécois landscape.
