Michel St. Hilaire HIGH SPEED

MICHEL ST. HILAIRE
Michel Saint Hilaire is a self-taught artist. His work is inspired by universal themes, ranging from human infrastructures intersecting with those of natural environments to the complexity of interpersonal relationships. Hilaire uses avant-garde mixed media techniques, layering dry medium over traditional paint with a focus on architectural motifs and geometric design.
Michel has had solo and group exhibitions in diverse cities in several commercial galleries in western Canada. The most recent exhibition is currently being shown at Elevation Gallery in Canmore, Alberta. He also had a solo exhibition at the contemporary artist run centre La Maison Des Artistes entitled Horizon in 2009 and an exhibition entitled Transitions in 2006 at « La Galerie » in the Franco-Manitoban Cultural Centre in Winnipeg.
For several years he has created diverse large-scale murals throughout the city of Winnipeg. His paintings are part of various collections: private and corporate, including the Province of Manitoba, Investors Group and Manitoba Hydro.
