From 1977, Normand Hudon lives fully from his painting. In his work, his background as a caricaturist, illustrator, and actor comes to light in caustic and colourful works. His sagacious spirit and the well-honed sense of repartee that he showed from a young age mark the themes he brilliantly exploits. From monks to magistrates, through scenes of daily life and children's games, Hudon's works appeal to the carefree memories of youth.
His favourite subjects? Daily life, working-class neighbourhoods and Quebec at the advent of the Quiet Revolution. The impression that emerges from his paintings is that of a childish and mischievous gaiety. Thus, Normand Hudon offers us a personal and creative vision of his childhood “drowned in holy water”.
