Artist Statement:
Florian Liber’s body
representations are primitive
with ritual energy. Layering
color near color, he paints
suddenly, emptying his
emotions and feelings onto
canvas. He leaves graphic
marks, drips of paint,
scratches and scribbles as
evidence of the physical act
of painting. Contemporary
subjects are explored using
raw emotions of archaic
processes to create a sense of
uniqueness.
Located in the heart of the
Montreal Museum district, The
Contemporary Arts Gallery
features major Canadian and
international painters and
sculptors such as: Jean-Paul
Riopelle, Karel Appel, Victor
Vasarely, Pablo Picasso, Marc
Chagall, Joan Miro, P.E.
Borduas, Pierre Alechinsky,
Jean McEwen and many others.

"We have purposely extended
the topic we started with: the
painting of Florian Liber who
has something to say in fine
arts today, in order to
identify in him a new attitude
towards artistic creation."
