Incidental characters, busy and crowded.
While painting for his 2019 show A Line Collected, Thibeault identified the emergence of dark and sometimes humorous figure-like characters in some pieces. See works And With This Song and A Shared Perspective.
With the onset of a global pandemic in early 2020, Thibeault’s mark making changed for a moment. Rather than large gestural movements or patches of colours filling the canvas, greater areas were filled with a concentration of smaller marks. Thibeault explains that large movements somehow felt wrong in light of what we were collectively experiencing. Smaller marks then collected to make for busier imaginings.
