With a rich background in the creation of murals, he applies an unconventional technique that makes very sparing use of colours, while his search for texture produces spectacular effects. His bas-relief paintings in acrylic actually produce an impressive impasto effect, collages of gauze, interplay of cording, textiles and other materials that inspire this painter.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile Jean-Pierre Guay’s work explores two themes, animal representations and more abstract images, it consistently stands out by its power and originality.

He first creates the ambience, or décor, through relief, abstract elements and bold slashes of colour.
