The Positive Fantastic feat. Gaétan Caron
In-depth interview of Gaétan at his artist studio in Mendocino
-
Biography:
Gaétan’s practice consists of oil paintings, clay, as well as fine art digital photography relating directly to his relationship with nature. For years, Gaétan has lived in rural Mendocino in Northern California. His off-the-grid home and wilderness art studio are surrounded by forests, mountains and lay in the middle of an heirloom orchard where wild ponies roam freely.
Gaétan was born in Québec, Canada. He studied Ceramic Art at l’École de Céramique Bonsecours in Montréal. As co-founder of Lost Art Salon in San Francisco, a gallery specializing in the rediscovery of 20th Century Fine Art, Gaétan collects the art of a multitude of artists from that era.
Gaétan has had numerous exhibitions of his work at Lost Art Salon and other venues in San Francisco and Mendocino County.
Artist Statement:
When I create, whether depicting reflections of nature or abstractions of what lays inside of me, I anchor myself in the now. The dialogue with thoughts, feelings and sensations slowly becomes silent. My hands take over. I simply breathe. Brush strokes are applied. Images are captured. Artwork gets created like little miracles.
My depictions of flowers and blossoms, fruit trees and mountain scenes, forests of madrones and manzanitas, creeks running down into steep valleys, serene and pure water lakes and rivers, golden hills, tropical island paradise, ancient blue oaks, wild animals and their habitat or the Pacific Ocean sculpting the cliffs of the Lost Coast, are all witnesses of Nature connecting with my Spirit.
