François Faucher and his wife Line Thivierge

At the age of 11, François Faucher showed unusual aptitudes for drawing. His parents gave him an assortment of brushes, oil paints and canvases. He presents two paintings in a competition held in his hometown. He won first prize with a work depicting a landscape and third prize with a reproduction of Van Gogh's self-portrait.

 

At 15, he met the one who would become his wife and later, his agent, Line Thivierge. She was at his side when he began his career as a painter at the age of 16. Indeed, François Faucher's real passion for this art is declared when he sees his mother taking painting lessons. It was from this moment that he decided to resume his brushes to then participate in several exhibitions in his region.

 

In 1989, when he was considering leaving his career as an architect, François Faucher asked his wife if she would agree to be his agent. She says yes. A month later, it's done. From an architect, he became a professional painter and Line abandoned her biologist's smock to become an artist's agent.   The adventure begins.

 

Since becoming a professional painter, the artist has only one goal: to have “vibrationism” recognized internationally in an important way and he works tirelessly to achieve this goal during his lifetime.

Biographie

Biography

Born in Thetford Mines (Quebec, Canada) in 1959, François Faucher has been painting since the age of 16.

 

He considers himself a self-taught painter, although in 1978 and 1979 he attended two free workshop sessions with the famous Quebec artist Albert Rousseau.

 

He studied architecture at Laval University and graduated in 1983. Two years later, he became a member of the Ordre des architectes du Québec. During all these years of study and work, he never stopped painting. All his free time is devoted to his art. In 1989, he decided to give up his career in order to paint full time and to promote his new style. Much to the artist's delight, “vibrationism” has now gained recognition in Canada, the United States and France.

 

At the start of his career, François Faucher painted landscapes and still lifes. But over time, as he received musical training in his youth and music is what makes him vibrate the most, it becomes his favorite subject and soon occupies more than 80% of his production. Today, anything that influences him in everyday life can also become a subject to be exploited, such as sports, children, professions and travel. His painting is constantly evolving towards different subjects. Faces, sometimes deformed, sometimes split in two, often very colorful, have now appeared on his paintings.
