Marc Séguin

Marc Séguin, born in Ottawa in 1970, is a Quebec painter, printmaker, and novelist known for a powerful body of work combining social commentary with a distinctive visual aesthetic. A graduate in visual arts from Concordia University, he is recognized for his large-scale oil paintings, where historical symbols, cultural references, and naturalistic elements coexist. His printmaking practice, particularly etching, sharpens his graphic language. Séguin’s work addresses themes such as identity, collective memory, violence, and the fragility of the human condition. His pieces are held in major collections, including the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and the National Gallery of Canada. Also an acclaimed author, he has published several novels praised by critics. Through painting, printmaking, and literature, he maintains a multidisciplinary approach in which art becomes a means to reflect on the world.
