Although Sauvé’s style is close to naive art we cannot classified his work
as such. It is very difficult to give any classification to his art because
he explores many aspects of the pictorial art: architecture, landscape, city
scenes, caricature, etc.
Michel Sauvé loved
drawing and sketching since he was a very young boy. A self-taught artist,
he tried different mediums but finally adopted oil painting in 1993. He is a
passionate of colours. That might be the reason why he has been working in
the printing industry since 1980 and which in return should be the reason
why he masters the colours so well.
Sauvé is divided between childhood and maturity; it is probably the reason
why the fantasy of his imagination takes over taking life too seriously.
With his sharp sense of humour he definitely prefers to bring a smile to the
spectator’s face than to have him look at his works in a deep reflection.
Hockey was and is always a passion for him. He loves showing us little
players in the lane or in the school yard with the equipment of another time.
Dressed with the Canadian or the Nordiques colours, these characters bring
back with nostalgia memories of the rivalry between these two Quebec teams.
