We have two paintings by Andre Demers. They are unlike anything else on our walls. This one is about 2'X3'. His work is very "outsider" and hypnotic. It has been a great pleasure to watch his obsession with repeating shapes and themes and decorative elements evolve over the past several years - and to watch his mastery of paint grow.
He has just put up a site that includes some recent paintings.
In addition to the fact that we like living with his paintings, I am guessing that now is the time to collect him, while he is still relatively obscure and affordable.

A Montreal painter worth viewing

Those are the best kind of artists to own, obscure, talented and affordable.
I like that detail of the Provincetown painting. The quality of the blues with the faint reds in the background. It's obvious you have very fond memories of P'town.
