Réal Founier and His 3D World
Réal Founier grew up in orphanage and in between forester homes. Pencil was his faithful companion in his childhood. Réal had a gift of creating characters, animals and landscapes without any model, and he never need to plan out a composition.
After years of drawing and painting in his spare time in the military and as an elementary school teacher, in 1986 Réal had his very first solo exhibition which encouraged him to pursue his dream of making a living as an artist, and he succeeded!
In 2007, after 30 years of experimentation by trial and error, Réal figured out how to paint in 3D, another one of his childhood dream. We are very pleased to bring this focused mini show to you which includes some large oil canvases as well as gel pen drawings.
Enjoy!
