Ombre A Lumiere

Gaston Rebry (1933–2007, Belgium) immigrated to Montreal in 1954, leaving behind a career as a competitive cyclist to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. By the mid-1960s he was painting full-time, devoting his career to landscapes that reconstruct nature into luminous, idealized visions of forest, sky, and water. Rebry’s canvases are celebrated for their sensitivity to light and atmosphere, embodying a lifetime of communion with the natural world.
