André Fournelle honoured by his peers
You might recall the article on André Fournelle in our September 2021 newsletter (L’interdit damoclèse by André Fournelle at the D’Arts et de rêves Park) . André is the generous artist who donated L'interdit damoclèse, a magnificent sculpture that stands out in the DAR Park.
This fall, André was honored by his peers who presented him with the Prix Paul-Émile-Borduas 2021. "This award represents the highest distinction given to an individual for outstanding contributions to the visual arts, fine crafts or digital arts in Quebec.” (Prix du Québec 2021: André Fournelle récipiendaire du Prix Paul-Émile Borduas - Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels (raav.org))
André answered a few questions about his creative work, about artists, about the next generation of artists... it is very interesting to hear him talk about his world. Take a few minutes to listen to this short interview and I am sure you will agree with me. André Fournelle - Prix Paul-Émile Borduas 2021.
