Maj Fortier

Art is the Butterfly of our own Caterpillar". Marc A.J. Fortier ( 23 Août 2007) Faced with chaos, over-consumption and uncertainty within modern society, Marc A.J. Fortier questions the actors that we are with irony and occasional sarcasm. For him, all the elements of our world, be they living or inanimate, are animated by the same life and are confronted in an apparently irrational order: faces are human and robotic at the same time while objects are as much inanimate as they are animated. The paintings and sculptures of Marc A.J. Fortier take place in the realm of reality and the mundane by affirming the durability and permanency of human attitudes: Snobbery and elitism, envy and pride, boredom, untruthfulness and solitude.
