Original works
Painter, residing in La Malbaie and spending summers in Isle-aux-Coudres in the Charlevoix region, Bourdeau draws inspiration from nature and from the light, nuances, and textures that emerge from it. Engaged in the community, the artist shares generous works rich in color and movement. Bourdeau’s art carries viewers through recognizable landscapes as well as abstract ones, a back-and-forth between the inner and outer realms of a dynamic and unpredictable world. The perspective offered by Bourdeau invites us to see differently.
Giclées ( reproductions )
Limited edition
Entirely produced in Quebec, giclées—unlike standard inkjet prints—must meet or even exceed museum standards for archival quality and precision. The field of graphic arts, and more specifically fine art reproduction, is uncompromising in this regard. To achieve this, giclées rely on pH-neutral materials, free of OBAs, and use water-based, wide-gamut pigmented inks.
This is how they attain a lifespan exceeding 100 years, with vibrant colors and exceptional color accuracy—ensuring that cherished memories, grand landscapes, and evocative works bring decades of enjoyment to their owners.
This is what Bourdeau, painter, offers you.

In Frost Gardens, Bourdeau captures the fragile poetry of winter landscapes, where ice shimmers and transforms. Echoing the ice of the St. Lawrence River, the work evokes both its fleeting beauty and its vulnerability to climate change, inviting mindful and attentive contemplation.
GARDENS FROST SERIES
In the Cosmogony series, Bourdeau explores the origins, forces, and mysteries that shape worlds, between chaos and emergence. This approach echoes the meteorite that fell in Charlevoix, a foundational event that shaped the territory and nourished the imagination. Like a celestial impact, Bourdeau’s work evokes an encounter between matter and light, where a landscape emerges that is both real and mythic.

Painter
Bourdeau has always witnessed this fracture between abstract and figurative art, yet for him, these two energies are complementary. His approach is tinged with his experience of life, which vacillates between the real and the imaginary. His balance depends on this alternation between these two worlds. It's as simple as opening and closing your eyes, everything is so close and a whole world separates these spaces...
Figurative
Bourdeau needs to be in nature to paint what he sees. The interpretation of the landscape is not meant to be caricatural but as close as possible to the reality perceived by the artist. Nature is the best teacher by its changing colours, atmospheres and lights. Bourdeau needs to keep in touch with this reality. This figuration is part of one of my main plastic concerns and allows me to keep my equilibrium, to communicate my love of nature and to share my gratitude towards it''.

Abstract
Bourdeau also needs to explore matter in its raw, mystical, hidden nature, by its physics, its behaviour in the space proposed. The plans, colours and lines, sometimes precise, sometimes fluid, are the result of a spontaneous approach, where the elements (water, pigments and canvases) take their place and express themselves. This first gesture, very mechanical, allows the artist to access his unconscious.
The second gesture of the painter is to bring the unconscious closer to the conscious, on the way to a metaphysical space. Without looking for the figurative elements that could be proposed in these forms, it is rather the balance of the elements (colours, plane, lines and direction) that will animate the artist.
