Born on April 12, 1955, in Sainte-Monique, a village in the Lac Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Nicole Taillon grew up in a working-class environment and inherits her father's manual skill and taste for precision. Attracted by everything life has to offer, she studied psychology and mathematics, theatre and science, with the same appetite, which carried her from drawing towards graphism and contemporary design.
Then driven by the obsession to charge each new painting with a social message capable of composting for its apparent futility, Taillon ardently turned to sculpture, searching, in the complexity of moulding and founding techniques, for a distraction from her haunting fears, and at the same time for the opportunity to create the emblematic figures of the " People" who inhabit her imaginary world. Since she started exhibiting her works in 1980, Nicole Taillon has won a number of prizes and distinctions, and her works, which include bronze mural five meters wide, from part of many private and business collections. |
