He jealously keeps home a painting from his old aunt Rebecca. Judge Morier has first admired others\u2019 paintings, during many years, before starting to paint by himself. He would then cover the art galleries circuit, even going to New York City, to satisfy his passion for beauty and his admiration for artwork. Twenty years ago, he decided to jump into it. \u201cSerenity\u201d is Judge Morier\u2019s first solo exposition, being born in Saint-Hyacinthe (called a \u201cMaskoutain\u201d).<\/p>\n
By Denise Begin (from Le Courrier de Saint-Hyacinthe, Wednesday, March 8, 2000).<\/p>\n
His father was a florist and a photographer. \u201cI used to work with my father at his florist store. He was showing me how to make flower arrangements and to match colors.\u201d When ready to register for university, I choose to go to Quebec City. The Old-Quebec style attracted me. I then started to tour the art galleries with a friend. Once, I met with Miyuki Tanobe, but meeting Louis Tremblay, a painter from Charlevoix region, which came to expose his artwork in Saint-Hyacinthe, really made my decision. \u201cAfter talking with him and seeing his artwork, I felt the urge to paint\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr. Morier then takes painting lessons and begins his great artistic adventure, which, he says, brings him a great serenity. \u201cTo be a judge means lots of listening and even if painting consists more in looking and be filled with moving beauties, it is in listening that one can transpose his view on a panel or a canvas\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n
The judge talks about his passion for painting very humbly. \u201cI do not pretend to be a great painter\u2026 I would say that I daub and I like it. My paintings are showing my personal look at things. They often correspond to a precise memory.<\/p>\n
Serenity\u2026 is a term that often comes into his conversation. This is also the title of his solo exposition held until March 31st, 2000, at the T.-A. St-Germain library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
