Jacques Jourdain was born in Trois-Rivières, Québec in 1931. In 1956, he graduated from les Beaux-Arts du Québec and from the beginning of his career he took part in a number of dynamic mouvements in the world of fine arts in Montréal under the name of École de Montréal du temps. It was then possible to rub shoulders with Borduas, Pellan, Riopelle, Gauvreau, Ferron, etc.
In 1958, Les amis de Montréal invite him to present his works before the Montréal public. In 1959, Montréal’s Musée des Beaux-Arts kept a few of his paintings for it’s 77 th year of the Salon du printemps. Afterwards, he exhibited his paintings at the Galerie Martin, Galerie Desmarais, Galerie l’Art Francais, Galerie du Vieux Trois-Rivières, Saint-Joseph seminary and Galerie Zanettin. Presently he is represented in many galleries in Québec, Ontario and Vancouver. Nomination of the Beaux-Arts prize and painter of the Montréal Jardin Botanique’s flower. Jourdain’s steadiness is shocking: the sophistication and the technique of his style which he is almost the only one to hold the secret to his method, help him create works of rare poetry, for his technique makes light dance and hides the transparencies of stained-glass windows where color with itself transposes into emotion. |
