Sacha Barrette works with colour in such a way as to keep its original purity, thereby giving the subject its unique shape, texture and light, all applied “almost flat”. Hence, the colours are allowed to express themselves.
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Saguenay Lac St-Jean in 1965. Sacha left his native region for Montréal to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from the University of Québec in 1982, and has since worked in the visual arts field for numerous advertising firms. He taught private painting classes until he decided to devote himself entirely to his art. He has since exhibited in galleries in Montréal and the Outaouais region.
He has traveled throughout Canada, The United States and Latin America, rebuilding his palette of colours and reaffirming his style. Upon his return to Québec he moved to the countryside where he found not only the colours he had experienced in his travels, but also the joy of painting.
