Artists of the Day, March 18, 2023: "Origins." Two generations of art by Mia Bergeron. & Michel Bergeron (#1806)

The Concept
I always wanted to make an art show with my daughters; with Mia as painter or Veronique as writer.  My dream happened! Although it did represent a lot of pressure on me (I did not want to embarrassed my daughters). So here are the results of 3 months of intense work!

The Name Origins came as our basic concept. We both have lived in different cultures and origin. Mia as an American-born with roots from Québec, and a heavy influence by Italy (4 years in Florence) and myself, as Canadian that worked all around the world in the last 40 years. So how to combine these 2 identities?

The set up
Thank you, Mia, for curating perfectly this exhibit (by pairing the sculpture with painting), and thank you, Véronique, for the name generation of the artwork and for keeping us calm in chaos!

The opening night
What a dream! We had a lot of people that came to celebrate the opening (and my birthday).
Thank you so much Leesburg Center for the Arts.Thank you Mia for working in tandem with me and Mia and Veronique for curating the show!

Mia displayed her oil paintings, and me, the sculptures. The second part of this presentation are the sculptures in places where they are, or where they will be, or where they should be.

Artist of the day, May 21, 2020: Michel Bergeron, a Canadian graphic designer, mentor, sculptor. (#1000)

Michel Bergeron (1951) is an artist, father, designer, teacher, and inspirer with over 40 years of creative experience. His visionary endeavors started when he was very young growing up in Quebec, and sketching during class instead of studying his lessons. Luckily, he made creativity his life pursuit.  

His education includes attending Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY; Graduating from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA, and workshops with Armin Hoffman from the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule in Basel. After pursuing an artistic education,  he founded and co-partnered BergeronHamel in New York City, then Atlanta, Montréal, and Mexico City, a company consisting of a multi-disciplinary team of over 20 designers in the development of projects for major corporations and Fortune 500 companies.

Michel's designs reached national as well as international audiences to include Dubai UAE, Australia, Hong Kong, and Brazil. Michel's expertise in the area of strategic product direction and branding, trends analysis and anthropology lent to his success as Creative director/mentor of 42 designers for DYWorks in Mumbai, India; Creative Director/Consultant at VGC, a top-ranked Indian design firm; and as an AGDA lecturer for postgraduate designers in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Michel's accomplishments in the field of design are exemplified by the plethora of awards received for outstanding work, including Clio Gold awards for packaging design.

Although much of Michel's career revolves around design, he is also a fine artist. He has regularly practiced his hand at sculpture and painting, looking to everything from fashion to folklore as his muse. In 2017 he was involved with the Naples Arts Association’s "Paint the town" mural project in which he was one of the featured artists to paint a mural on 5th avenue, then he made a mural “For the love of art” at the Naples Arts Association headquarter in Naples.

Today, Michel continues to grow, to investigate, and to share. As a natural continuation of his inquisitive mind and love of expression, he has committed himself over the past five years to this daily blog highlighting artists from various countries and mediums of art. This blog brings him joy, curiosity, and genuine satisfaction to get to seek, share, and sometimes meet an artist who is working continuously to change the way we see the world. He is also developing new ways to make art available for everyone that falls under the wide umbrella of  "I made this"
