Photorealism artist
François Chartier can
easily spend three months
to achieve a work on
canvas where creativity
and attention to detailcombine. Working on
oversized canvases to
render his larger-than-
life subjects, the objects
he paints are magnified,
as if seen through a lens.
His goal is to captivate
viewers and make them
look at something familiarfrom an entirely new angle,
with the smaller details
revealed in their unique
beauty and simplicity. His
work is presented at Galerie
Richelieu alongside artists
such as Léa Rivière, Charles
Carson and Céline Brossard,
among many others.1
