Hopeless Lovers Pictures & Videos

To all who attended to the opening of my exhibition(Hopeless Lovers) wednesday at Café Maelstrom, Thank You!

To all who thought of coming but missed it, Thank You!

Marc & Èmilie, thank you so much!!!

The show went well.

Myself(harp & wine) and Annie(violin) arrived at approximately 5:55PM.
The place was full. Excellent.

We sat down and as Annie takes out her violin, I poor us some wine.

We executed a miniature play entitled "Hopeless Lovers".

Lovers struggling with their Love(instruments).

The performance was filmed by my sister Jessica and will be at the end of this post.


Here are some pictures from the show.
These pictures were taken by Maryse Doucette, Émilie Thériault and Jessica Cormier.

HOPELESS LOVERS - Sneak Peek



This painting was the first one painted for my new series in the works entitled HOPELESS LOVERS.

This is a sneak peek of the series. I am EXTREMELY tempted to post more of them but I will refrain myself from doing so and hope for it to be as much of a surprise as possible.

This one is temporarily titled "Hopeless Lovers" because it kicked off this very therapeutic series, its title may eventually change for there is a brother painting to it.

DomPasGeoMar




This is a collaborative work. Myself and my fellow artists:

George Blanchette, Dominik Robichaud and Maryse Arsenault joined in George's studio and we all went a little wild on this big sheet of masa paper George had set up on the wall. An hour or two later, this is what was delivered....

Pastels, pencils, charcoals, paints, flowers, black tape, brown tape, who knows?
Size: Unknown - Fairly big, four artists were working on it at the same time.

I call it DomPasGeoMar.

The Squirrel and The Crow





In the fervent bloody wind, the squirrel and the crow co-dependently seek their lost treasure...Love of the first kind...



A piece I did sometime last year and never took a photo of.

Oil pastels are really fun.

Snow

I hate the thought of snow right now.
As bright and beautiful as snow may be, it is cold and it pisses me off.

But here is the first painting of a coming series I did inspired by our last winter(winter 2007-2008), which was a pain, but it was gorgeous and very, very snowful, like when I was a kid and had no bills to pay and no obligations to attend to...

The series will be called "SNOW", and will consist mostly of snowy landscapes.
I am anxious to get to it when business comes less, it is a direction I very rarely attend to...

Here's "Snowy Banks":

Cocorosie

A treasure...

As I am wandering downtown late one friday night, I see a familiar face.

I say:"You're from Bathurst."(my home town).

She says yes. Long story short, she is down for a few days contemplating about moving here and has no place to stay, so she came over and slept on my couch.

All this to say that she(Natacha Haché who is now in Moncton and gives Yoga lessons for good price for anyone interested)introduced me to Cocorosie that night.

Cocorosie are two sisters, from what I understand, they were some how seperated young and found each other again later in life, one having become a Classically trained Opera singer and the other I ignore, but they ended up jamming in a bath tub and it turned out great obviously.

I found that do not like some of their seemingly more recent works as much as the earlier works but the first time I heard them, my heart nearly stopped.

Please...Hear...

HOPELESS LOVERS in the works

Dear brothers and sisters,

My next Art Show will take place at the Café Maelstrom in Moncton(Corner of Botsford and Alma Streets). The opening will be on October 22nd 5PM-7PM.

The title of the series is HOPELESS LOVERS.

I have been in the studio on a daily basis crying my heart onto canvas.

I think the outcome will be great. Great therapy it is either way.

I will post the poster in a near futur with a preview of the works.

Have a flowerful day.

Art Show - Pictures

The opening was great! A lot of people showed up!
These pictures were taken by my father Leo Cormier and so he only took pictures of my stuff.
I will try and get pictures of Mathieu's display as well as Julie Cassey and the others.
I wish there were much more pictures of the night, I wanted to tell this to my father but got rather bombarded/nervous/wine. If anyone that was there has any pictures, let me know! :-)

Exhibition - Sad Songs For Lonely Birds

Cute As A button!

The Confederation Center of Arts of Charlottetown, P.E.I did their annual Cute As A... contest where artists are selected and a button is made from their submitted artwork.

I was one of the selected artists this year and the art I submitted was "Skyful Bird", acrylic on panel and canvas(you'll understand this once you see the whole piece in a future near you), 10" x 12".

The piece in question is part of my series "Sad Songs For Lonely Birds" which will be shown at Gallery Sans Sous, Aberdeen Cultural Center in Moncton starting Friday, May 16th.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend to the event which was last February due to a combination of illness and distance. I look forward to participate again next year and making it there this time! Pins were sent to me by mail and I proudly wear mine on my blazer! :-)

Pamela Marie Pierce & Christopher Douglas Small

Please take a look at my friend Pamela's artwork.
It's great stuff!









Also, check out the great photography of her partner in crime, Christopher Douglas Small:

New-Brunswick Adoption Center Chair-ity

This post is long over due...

The New-Brunswick Adoption Center does a yearly charity auction with artists for the center.

This year's auction was in last November 2007 and was called Chair-ity where the artists painted on small chairs, pots and tables for the auction. There were some paintings on canvas as well.
I hear next year will be only canvas...We'll see.

Here is what I came up with:









The pot sold a sad $250.00 but the chair went for a very reasonable $400.00 considering that the highest anything went there was $700.00.

Looking forward to next year's auction.
