Serge V Richard

Serge Gilles Richard is a Canadian artist who currently resides in Kedgwick, New Brunswick. He received his degree in graphic arts from Holland College in Prince Edward Island and continued his studies at the Université de Moncton, exploring various forms of artistic expression.

During the first fifteen years of his fine art career, Richard concentrated on figurative acrylic paintings and large-scale drawings. The year 2000 saw a shift towards abstraction and a more intuitive approach to his art. In particular, his series “Enveloppé d’une fragilité humaine” (“Wrapped in human frailty”) exemplified a more fluid style that emerged based on his inner life.

In the following years, Richard turned to photography and sculpture to convey his artistic message. He regularly exhibits his work in in New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario in both solo and group shows. In 2014, he participated in “Imagined Dialogues”, a prestigious exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery whose purpose it was to create an inter-generational dialogue through work created by fourteen contemporary Acadian artists following its presentation at the World Acadian Congress 2014 in Edmundston, New Brunswick.

Richard is the recipient of Research, Creation and Career Development grants from ArtsNB, The Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation and the Canada Council for the Arts.
