"In the fullness of pictorial space, to make an absolute statement and impose something of your own reality." B.T.

Bertrand Tremblay was born in Les Éboulements, Quebec, in 1951. Upon graduation from the visual arts program at the Laval University in 1978, he returned to Charlevoix and collaborated in the earliest activities of the Baie Saint-Paul Arts Centre. He was part of the inaugural Symposium of Young Painters in 1982 and participated again in 1984. Much of his time was spent teaching painting, drawing and traditional weaving throughout Charlevoix. In 1985, he returned to Quebec City, making five trips to the Canadian Arctic. In 1989, Bertrand Tremblay was awarded the First Prize of the Art Acquisition Program of the City of Charlesbourg. The artist is also an accomplished poet with published volumes in 1995, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007. He is an active collaborator of two prestigious Revues of Poetry. In 2004, he became an official member of the I.A.F. - Institute of Figurative Arts, Canada. The works of Bertrand Tremblay are part of numerous collections throughout Canada and the United States.
