Daniel Tremblay
Musee des Beaux-Arts, Angers
His approach draws on the recycling of such readily recognisable everyday items and materials as rubber, slate, beads, brooms and shoes. The resultant works are subtly significant poetic entities, deeply humanistic residues of an emotion or a moment of pleasure. Dense, intense, ironic and inventive, each work illustrates some small, intimate story.
This is the Musée des Beaux-Arts' third tribute to Daniel Tremblay, the young Angers artist whose career began in 1980 and was terminated by an accident in 1985. During those five years he produced over 130 drawings, sculptures, low-reliefs and installations. Some of his works, acquired by the City of Angers or donated by his family and his dealer Farideh Cadot, are on permanent display at the Museum, where an entire room is dedicated to him.

Revolving essentially around works held by the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the exhibition will also allow visitors to discover (or rediscover) La Dernière Vague (The Last Wave), an installation created by the artist at the museum in La Jolla, California in 1984. The work is being recreated especially for Angers.
From 11 October 2008 to March 2009 the works by Daniel Tremblay usually on show in the dedicated room in the first floor contemporary galleries will be replaced by recent works by Pierre Besson.
