Remi Clark

Miroirs by Remi Clark is a 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas that was produced in 1986 and is signed in the bottom right corner. The focal point of the piece is the back of a horsedrawn carriage traveling into the distance. The title, Miroirs, refers to the dramatic reflection that can be seen on the rain soaked street, duplicating the buildings and trees that surround the cart. Clark uses a dramatic contrast between light and dark to emphasize the perspective in this composition and draw the eye further into the scene. His colour palette combines saturated tints with deep, moody tones to create an almost graphic effect, the paint laid down confidently in flat blocks of colour.

Remi Clark was born in 1944 in Quebec. He studied art in France and went on to make a name for himself as a talented contemporary artist best known for his familial landscapes depicting jovial moments of everyday life.
