marc-antoine nadeau

Marc-Antoine Nadeau, a Montreal-born printmaker and painter (1943), studied painting and printmaking at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal, learning under Albert Dumouchel, a key figure in modern Canadian printmaking. In the mid-1960s, he trained further at the Atelier libre de recherches graphiques, a hub for artistic experimentation, where he refined his skills in silkscreen and etching. Influenced by Montreal’s avant-garde, Nadeau developed a visual language combining technical precision with rich textures. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows and is held in both public and private collections. Rooted in tradition yet open to contemporary approaches, Nadeau has made a significant contribution to the vitality of Canadian printmaking.
