Marc Séguin was born in Ottawa on March 20, 1970. He obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Concordia University and now lives and works in Montreal and New York City. His first solo exhibition in 1996 presented large-scale works with amazing visual effects. This exhibition attracted favourable attention from critics and collectors, and his career was launched. A talented printmaker as well as a prolific painter, Marc Séguin was recognized by the curators of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal in 1997 through his work in the now-famous group exhibit De fougue et de passion. They then invited him to hold a personal exhibition in 2000 (at only 29 years of age), which consisted of a series of large paintings on the theme of medieval rose windows. This exhibition was also held at the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris during the summer of 2001, and toured Canada in 2003-2004. source: http://www.galeriesimonblais.com/en/artisteBio.php?id=25
