Artist Profile
Sylvain Bouthillette lives and works in Montreal. He graduated from Concordia University with a master degree in visual arts in 1990. Ever since, he has been exhibiting his work in a number of individual presentations (Galerie Trois-Points, Langage Plus in Alma, Plein Sud in Longueuil, L’œil de poisson in Québec) and in numerous collective shows in Quebec, Ontario and Switzerland. In order to highlight his production since the end of the 80s, The Regional Museum of Rimouski and the Centre EXPRESSION of St-Hyacinthe, coproduced Dharma Bum, a retrospection of the work of this prolific artist in mid-career. A written catalogue by Bernard Lamarche, the conservator who prepared the exhibit, accompanies the project, which traveled across Quebec and Canada.
In the last few years, the work of Sylvain Bouthillette has made a mark for himself through his creations inspired by the Buddhist quest of spiritual awakening. The animal motifs (cat, gorilla, squirel, crow, hare and cariboo) are an integral aspect of his works and key to his succes in the art world. « The principal idea of my work is a kind of concious meditation which includes images and objects of daily life. » From this theme, Bouthillette proposes a necessary spiritual transformation because the instinct of ownership we have toward these material objects freezes us and prevents us from evolving. The desire to possess is caused by the fear of emptyness which is equal to the fear of losing our individual identities.
