One is an artist in the soul, the other defines himself as a Judge who paints. Doris Chasse and Yves Morier wanted to give themselves a personal challenge: a duo exposition. This is the result of this challenge they are presenting at the T.-A. St-Germain Library, from March 31 to April 21, 2008. I met them at the artist\u2019s workshop, a few days prior to the exposition.<\/p>\n
By Paul-Henri Freniere (Zoom Arts Newspaper, April 2008)<\/p>\n
\u201cSince 1999, we meet at collective expositions, at symposiums and last year we had the idea to expose our work together. It was like a challenge\u201d, explains the Judge.<\/p>\n
But you have very different styles and themes?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat makes us alike is our taste for painting, our love for painting, our love for colors,\u201d answers Doris Chasse.<\/p>\n
Doris Chasse has a lot of experience; she has already had solo exposition, here and there. Yves Morier, will experiment a duo exposition for the first time. He will show about twenty pieces, from which (a dozen) are really recent.<\/p>\n
\u201cI recently had a few days of vacation and I did a lot of paintings. I was painting from morning to night. A great experience!\u201d says Yves Morier who was coming back from a trip to Italy from which he brought a lot of pictures, to nourish his inspiration for many artworks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI adore Italy\u2019s colors, its light, also its architecture.\u201d The architectural patrimony\u2019s richness represents a great source of inspiration for him. On top of the Saint-Hyacinthe\u2019s central market, the exposition will present ancestral houses, stores, courthouses (professional bias, hey?).<\/p>\n
Talking about justice, I ask if for him, painting represents a kind of\u2026 escape?<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly, he answers, I do not see the time pass by when I paint. I am totally absorbed by what I am doing. I forget my cases and all the rest. Yes, it is an escape. But a beautiful escape!\u201d<\/p>\n
Doris Chasse will expose about twenty artworks (large and small formats) from her last series named Regards vers le ciel (Looks at the sky). Abstract paintings created from her \u201cimpulses\u201d generated by her mental images.<\/p>\n
Personally, I see certain of Doris Chasse\u2019s paintings as a look towards the universe. Outside and inside universes at the same time: a telescope towards the sidereal space and a microscope searching the human soul\u2019s sub soils. Where from the chaos, emerge a certain harmony: colors, forms and senses.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am extremely proud and even honored to be her friend. She is a great artist. I compare her to Riopelle and other great painters,\u201d said Judge Yves Morier in front of a blushing Doris Chasse. \u201cOne day, we will expose in New York City\u201d says he, to dissipate the discomfort, bursting laughing.<\/p>\n
But one never knows\u2026 Doris Chasse has the full possession of her art and Judge Morier will soon retire. He will then have all his time to defend his muse\u2019s possibilities and to escape as much as he wants.<\/p>\n
