This evocative series bridges the gap between historical documentation and personal recollection, drawing inspiration from early to mid-twentieth century photographs and the artist's own childhood memories of growing up in Quebec during the 1950s and 60s. Born into the unique cultural landscape of Quebec, where French and English Canadian traditions intersected—sometimes harmoniously, sometimes not—these works capture the essence of a pivotal era in Canadian social history. The paintings explore the intimate world of a Catholic childhood, where faith, family, and community formed the cornerstone of daily life. Through bold expressionist techniques, Montpetit transforms vintage photographs and cherished memories into emotionally charged compositions that speak to universal themes of belonging, identity, and the passage of time. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on their own memories while bearing witness to a specific moment in Quebec's cultural evolution. The series celebrates the complexity of growing up between two cultures, finding beauty in the contradictions and connections that shaped a generation's experience of home, cultural heritage, and hope.
