This is a portfolio 22 individual watercolors, painted on consecutive days in the famous fishing village of Pouch Cove, Newfoundland. Located on the northeast Avalon Penninsula, with a population of around 2000, they have a thriving artist in residence and public art program. In 1994, Bolduc spent almost a month there, and this series of watercolours is one of the results. They are unframed, and presented as a boxed set.

Born in Toronto, David Bolduc (1945-2010) attended the Ontario College of Art and then the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts School until 1965. In 1968, Bolduc received a Canada Council Grant that allowed him to travel in Europe and Asia for eight months. He continued to travel extensively over the next 33 years while exhibiting annually at public and commercial galleries.

In his abstract canvases, rich in historical references from his travels, Bolduc uses curated organic motifs often placing them at the center of a painterly ground. The artist’s vibrant and joyful colors continue the traditions of modernism he embraced in the work of Jack Bush as well as Henri Matisse. Bolduc’s work is held in private, corporate and public collections including the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the National Gallery of Canada.
