KEEPER OF THE CULTURAL KEYS
Normand Blanchette


Inquisitive, intellectual Normand Blanchette was assistant curator at Gallerie D'Art du Centre Culturel du Drummondville during the premiere presentation of Guardians and Arkangels in 1989. With a natural affinity for children, Normand wove gloriously detailed stories about the show, capturing their imaginations and leaving them spellbound He is enlivened by their spontaneous honesty, his heart searching out the questions of their minds.

A modest and humble man, Normand is now curator of the Gallerie Du Centre Culturel, using the installations in his gallery to provoke the passion for culture in the arts, for which the people of Quebec are noted.

This portrait of Normand was done as part of a work in process at the Gallerie Du Centre Culturel, during first showing of the Arkangels. His portrait is that moment of deep thought -- before speaking.


A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover,
through the detours of art, those two or three great
and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

-- Albert Camus
