Les Rapides

Jacques Poirier captures the subtle ruggedness of Quebec’s Laurentians, North Shore, and Charlevoix with restrained palettes that emphasize light, shade, and seasonal shifts. Over 35 years, his plein-air practice has explored Canada’s diverse landscapes, yet Quebec remains his central muse. His nuanced use of color and tonal variation reveals a profound connection to nature’s quiet beauty, making each work a contemplative study of place and light.
