Painter, sculptor and set designer, Poirier brings to his paintings what a great cinematographer brings to a movie: subtlety, drama, desire. Using heavy contrast, layers and symbolism, the artist’s canvases are populated with faces hesitant to reveal themselves. A film noir feeling prevails, inviting the viewer to unravel each character’s fate. It is this careful balance between revelation and concealment that has garnered Poirier international recognition.
