š UN DIMANCHE ⢠UNE ÅUVRE MalgreĢ son titre, ce tableau repreĢsente la grand-meĢre de lāartiste (@manuelmathieu) : agenouilleĢe de dos, elle entretient minutieusement une plate-bande.
ć°ļø Les couleurs chatoyantes de sa robe et des plantes mettent en valeur une nature luxuriante eĢvoquant les jardins haiĢtiens de lāenfance du peintre. Toutefois, cette sceĢne se situe aĢ Blainville, ouĢ habitait sa grand-meĢre.
ć°ļø Ce tableau sur la filiation traite du lien privileĢgieĢ entre lāartiste et son aiĢeule, premieĢre immigrante de sa famille maternelle au QueĢbec. Manuel Mathieu preĢsente ce territoire comme une portion de la double appartenance identitaire et culturelle de sa grand-meĢre. Il sāapproprie conceptuellement cette dualiteĢ et cette ascendance en titrant son tableau Ā«AutoportraitĀ».

š SUNDAY ART DAY Despite the title, āSelf-portraitā is a depiction of the artistās grandmother: seen from behind, kneeling, she is carefully tending a flower bed.
ć°ļø The shimmering colours of her dress and the luxuriant plant life evoke the Haitian gardens of the painterās youth. But the scene is set in Blainville, where his grandmother lived.
ć°ļø This painting deals with the concept of filiation, the special connection between the artist and his grandmother, the first person from his maternal family to immigrate to Quebec. Mathieu presents this territory as part of her dual sense of cultural identity. He appropriates this duality and descent by titling his painting āSelf-portraitā.
