Description
I myself am not a gambler but I do find casinos a wonderful source for entertainment and observation. Body and facial language tells us a great deal of what is happening behind the scenes.
As an exercise of study I invited several of my friends to dress as pre-determined fictional characters. We then met and played out different scenarios. I filmed their antics and acting improv, sketching facial expressions, making adjustments as we went along. Graphic sketches were made testing a variety of different compositions, facial expressions and group arrangements until a starting point for the final product was determined. From there the painting evolved. I say evolved because improv is the greatest pleasure when it works. Realism. This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Ready to Hang: Yes. Signature Location: Back of Panel.

Presentation
Artist Statement:
My name is Jean Guy Morin. I am a painter although I have worked and sold in other mediums. My first work was to carve tiki gods from scrap pine for necklaces and bracelets back in high school.
I am a reader, a musician and an observer of life. In addition to Psychology and Art History I have studied art with David Marshall (B.C.), Madeline Wiener (Colorado), Guy Pierre (Quebec) mentored with Bernard Poulin for portraiture (Ont.), studied sculpture at U of O, Capilano College and have taken a multitude of workshops.
I produce on average 30/45 works per year, in oil on wood panel. Currently I have begun exploring a new (for me) format for painting. A third form of abstraction that permits the audience to connect with the work from a distance but it dissipates into abstraction as they approach.
My choice of composition varies in scale and subject dependent on the circumstances in my life. I am sympathetic of socials struggles and our plight on this planet and will frequently paint my frustration.
Education:
B. A. Carleton University, Major in Psychology, Minor in Art History
Artistic Influences:
To say who or what are my artistic influences is difficult when some of us are searching for our own voice. I will say that I appreciate anything well done, in any period. If someone has taken the time and care to prepare a work then when I view it I cannot resist being influenced. Time, Past and Present carry a significant number of masters each communicating their influence. All this to say I currently enjoy studying Edward Hopper. Each day can be different.
