Jacques Hurtubise
Jacques Hurtubise was born in Montreal, Quebec, in February 1939. Freshly graduated from the Montreal School of Fine Arts in 1960, he moved to New York, where he discovered American Abstract Expressionism—a movement he would brilliantly integrate into his own artistic language. Through his large-scale paintings, screen printing, and digital printmaking, Hurtubise distinguished himself with the originality of his approach, the complexity of his compositions, and his masterful use of color. Over five decades, his bold and distinctive body of work was exhibited across Canada, the United States, and Europe. Jacques Hurtubise passed away in December 2014 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
