ANDRÉ DEMERS | bio + folio

L'œuvre d’André Demers n'est pas facile à classifier. Diverses influences ont marqué son cheminement. Accordant une grande importance à la dimension esthétique, il s'exprime dans un amalgame de styles et de genres qu'il se réapproprie en les traduisant dans son propre langage.
Art brut, pop-art, surréalisme et op-art se manifestent ainsi d'une manière fantaisiste. Demers se considère comme un plasticien. Une constante traverse son œuvre, l'humour. Lucide et cynique il s'impose par un langage personnel dont l'approche reste unique et la richesse plastique indéniable.
André Demers is a 35 years old painter from Montreal, Canada. He started painting seriously at the age of 22, after having completed his studies in interior design. Realizing quickly that he needed way more freedom of expression, he undertook and completed a degree in Fine Arts.
Demers’ influences vary from surrealism to constructivism. However it's with the Optical Art and the Pop Art movements that he is mostly associated. That's why he calls his work Pop-Op Art. Using a unique technique he creates rich and vibrant paintings filled with joyful colours and intelligence.
