Jean Pronovost

Jean Pronovost is a modern-day adventurer.

From his Montreal apartment, he travels from civilization to civilization, from era to era. With the stroke of a paintbrush, he transports the viewer from an Inca legend, or plunges us into the urban jungle. With the movement of a palette knife, he invokes forgotten gods. The powerful realism of his paintings and sculptures reveal a world where ancient symbols discover new meaning.

Jean Pronovost does not inhabit an archaic universe, nor does he concern himself with an obsolete sense of spirituality. On the contrary, this passionate student of anthropology and ethnology, who has had the opportunity to work with great masters like Mark Prent, and Alfredo Cardenas, and who attracted the attention of esteemed connoisseurs such as Leslie Barany, H. R. Gigers agent, adheres to an expansive and progressive post-modern aesthetic.
