Lowell Ryan Projects is pleased to present Icons, an exhibition featuring the latest works of French-Canadian artist Marc Séguin. Exploring the uncertainty of our time through a grouping of symbolic archetypes; paintings of vultures, angels, wolves, and humans are executed in Séguin’s signature style of poignant colorful gestures and symbols juxtaposed against meticulously rendered charcoal drawings on raw canvas. The works on view meditate on the duality of human nature and our capacity to resist instinct. This is Marc Séguin’s first solo show in Los Angeles and with Lowell Ryan Projects. |

Marc Séguin was born in Ottawa, Canada in 1970. He obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Concordia University and now splits his time between his home in Montréal, Canada and his Brooklyn, New York studio. Touching on themes of the politically backward, the environmentally compromised, and the socially divided, his work reveals deeper truths about the nature of humanity through images that are not only thought provoking, but beautifully elegiac. Séguin’s works are included in the collections of The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Canada; Musée des Beaux-arts de Montréal, Canada; Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, Canada; Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Canada; The Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo, NY; Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, Canada; McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Canada; and The Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg, Canada;
amongst many others. He has exhibited in galleries such as Galerie Simon Blais, Montréal, Canada; Mike Weiss Gallery, New York, NY; Arsenal Art Contemporain, Montréal, Canada; Galerie Jean-Claude Bergeron, Ottawa, Canada; and Tracy Williams Gallery, New York, NY. His works have been reviewed and discussed in publications such as Canadian Art, La Tribune, La Presse Montreal, Art Economist, Toronto Star,Whitehot Magazine, ARTINFO, Whitewall, The Gazette, Montreal, and The Globe and Mail. Additionally, Marc Séguin has published six critically acclaimed fiction novels including La foi du braconnier, Hollywood, Nord Alice, and Les Repentirs et Jenny Sauro. Stealing Alice is his first feature film, and his documentary, The State of the Farm, was released in 2017. |
