michel beAUCAGE

Michel Beaucage is a painter and printmaker born in Montreal in 1958. He holds a master’s degree in visual arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal and received specialized training in carborundum printmaking in Paris. His artistic approach blends abstraction and figuration, often drawing inspiration from nature, architecture, and Asian art traditions.

He developed a unique technique combining rice paper and acrylic paint, producing transparent, delicate effects reminiscent of glass or ceramic glaze. His works are often enriched with collaged materials such as fabric, paper, and engraved fragments.

For over 25 years, he has exhibited regularly in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. His practice has evolved through travel and cultural influences, and his works are now part of numerous public and private collections, reflecting his significant contribution to the contemporary art scene.
