At Art Fair Daegu in South Korea, I had the chance to perform live, with MBC News capturing the moment. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with the public in real time and to share my work in such a dynamic setting.
Throughout the fair, I painted live at the Song-Word booth, sharing my creative process with visitors. A vibrant energy filled the space, making the experience truly memorable.
I’m excited to share a glimpse of my latest creations as I prepare to exhibit at the prestigious Art Context Miami with Carousel Fine Art. In my studio, I’m putting the final touches on a new series of works, ready to join this major contemporary art fair.
I was honoured to be invited to the opening ceremony of the Global Health Network MENA, marking a groundbreaking partnership between the Canadian University of Dubai and the University of Oxford. The event highlighted the importance of public health education and research, as well as the ethical use of artificial intelligence. Here is an excerpt from my live performance entitled “Climate Duality”
Song-Word Art House, in partnership with The Tragically Hip, showcased a collection of 18 original artworks inspired by the iconic lyrics of the legendary Canadian band. I had the privilege of creating a piece specifically for this exhibition, drawing inspiration from their song "Little Bones." The event took place at Bracebridge Hall in Ontario, offering a unique blend of art and music.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates, I was honored to be commissioned to create a unique work of art, rich in symbolism. It was a truly enriching experience to blend cultures through my painting.
I’m currently in Tijuana Playas, creating new and original works as part of the Tijuana Triennial. Invited by the Municipal Institute of Arts and Culture through the Casa de la Cultura in Playas de Tijuana, I’m in residence from October 3 to 31, 2020. The studio space for this artistic experience has been generously provided.
Here in Tijuana, in the state of Baja California, I’ll be offering workshops and taking part in both in-person and virtual discussions. Passionate about travel and cultural exchange, I’ll also be conducting research on this fascinating border city.
I’m honored to have been selected by the MEADOWS Organization to create an artistic mask for the MASK ART exhibition. This global initiative brings together artists from around the world to promote mask-wearing through creativity and imagination.
Through my design, I aimed to turn the simple act of wearing a mask into something more colorful, original, and filled with hope. Launched in collaboration with UNESCO, the exhibition opened on May 29th to mark the World Day for Cultural Diversity.
I had the privilege of being selected to present a live performance for the inauguration of the Canada Pavilion, as part of Expo 2020 in Dubai. A memorable experience within a major international context.
I had the honor of participating in MEADOWS PERSONAL STRUCTURES for the second consecutive year. Following a highly successful exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2017, my works, alongside those of 43 other renowned international artists from 32 nations, were showcased at the prestigious Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, from December 13 to 16, 2018.
As part of my international tour, I was delighted to present my latest works and my new art book, SYLVAIN TREMBLAY Brooklyn, Beijing, Dubai, Montreal, from November 14 to 18, at Le Livart art center.
Following the "NO GENDER" exhibition in 2016 at the Never Apart art center, I returned with the same overflowing and contagious energy to unveil a completely new body of work. Having spent nearly a decade in the urban environments of Beijing, Dubai, and Brooklyn, cities I called home, my inspiring and captivating adventures pushed me to explore new artistic techniques, extend my creative boundaries, and reaffirm my artistic vision.
I was pleased to participate in SINERGIA, the first international painting exhibition and artist gathering, organized by CETYS University in Mexicali from March 25 to 30, 2019. This event aimed to enrich the holistic development of the student and university community, highlighting art's profound impact on our humanity. SINERGIA also strives to expand artistic dissemination spaces in Mexico's border region, while promoting access to art and culture for the Baja California community.
As a member of Eureka Global Art, I was honored to be one of the Canadian international artists to participate in Europe's oldest and most prestigious exhibition on February 13, 2018. I was proud to receive the Golden Award in the abstract and creative mixed media category there.
I had the immense honour of presenting a work at the Venice Biennale, in collaboration with UNESCO. This project, titled Meadows Mask Art, allowed me to contribute to an international artistic dialogue at the heart of this prestigious event.
After a ten-year wait, I had the exclusive premiere of my international tour at Galerie d'art Iris in Baie-Saint-Paul. The grand unveiling took place on September 2, 2017, a memorable day when I presented a live painting performance.
After Hong Kong, Dubai, New York, Brussels, and Montreal, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Château du Clos Lucé for another live outdoor painting performance.
On June 24, 2017, I offered a live artistic performance in the Château gardens, using a surprising technique I've developed over the past few years. I also premiered a documentary tribute to the Tuscan Master, as part of the 500th anniversary celebrations of Leonardo da Vinci. For this film, I walked in Leonardo da Vinci's footsteps, from Italy to France. This documentary was produced by myself and the Canadian University in Dubai, and directed by Stéphane Chabas.
In many of my works, I celebrate Leonardo da Vinci and recontextualize his creative and visionary genius, particularly in my portraits of the Master or my reinterpretation of The Last Supper. Leonardo da Vinci dedicated 30 years of his life to the study of anatomy. In my own works, I also manage to manipulate the human body in my own way. I consider myself a visual artist, playing with textures, representing the flesh, thus forming the expression of the body and conveying my emotions and sensibility.
Welcome to the new studio and show room in Brooklyn! I am sharing the space with my colleague and sculptor, André Brissette. We are open and ready for visitors.
