Cultural Background: Algonquin, Long Point First Nations, QC

A Native North American Algonquin, born in Ville-Marie, Quebec in 1952, Frank Polson is a member of the Long Point First Nation (Northwestern Quebec).

Frank is a self-taught artist who produces works of unique beauty, which is relevant to today and in accordance with his heritage. For the last four years he has worked at developing his unique style in the medium of acrylics. He has rekindled his fond memories of many pleasurable and educational seasons, spent on the trap lines with his father and has tried to capture those wonderful memories on canvas among the glorious sunsets and the sounds and feelings of the wilderness' days and nights. The sound of the “Great Northern Diver” and the cry of the “Timber Wolfโ€ seem to haunt his vision of the beautiful Quebec Northwest.

Frank credits the Elders for helping him find and maintain balance in his life, to overcome his problems and conflicts and to live with and finally defeat the frustration that followed him for so many years. He finally knows that he can stop running and that he has nothing to prove to the world.

โ€œPainting makes me feel like Iโ€™m doing something for myself.โ€

Origine Culturelle: Algonquin, Long Point First Nations, QC

Nรฉ ร  Ville Marie, Quรฉbec en 1952, Frank Polson qui est membre de la Premiรจre Nation Long Point (nord-ouest quรฉbรฉcois) est un Algonquin nord amรฉricain.

Frank est un artiste autodidacte qui produit des ล“uvres dโ€™une beautรฉ unique qui est pertinent pour aujourdโ€™hui et conformรฉment ร  son patrimoine. Depuis les quatre derniรจres annรฉes, il a travaillรฉ ร  dรฉvelopper son style unique dans le mรฉdium des acryliques. Il a ravivรฉ ses souvenirs friands de nombreuses saisons de plaisir et dโ€™รฉducation passรฉes en compagnie de son pรจre sur les lignes de trapistes. Il a tentรฉ de capturer ces merveilleux souvenirs sur toile de ces couchers de soleil ainsi que les sons et sentiments de la faune jours et nuits. Le son du grand oiseau plongeur du Nord ainsi que le cri du loup semblent hanter sa vision de la beautรฉ du Nord-Ouest du Quรฉbec.

Frank est trรจs reconnaissant envers les Sages de lโ€™avoir aidรฉ ร  trouver et ร  maintenir son รฉquilibre dans la vie, ร  surmonter des problรจmes et conflits. Ils lui ont aussi appris ร  vivre avec et finalement vaincre la frustration qui lโ€™a suivi pendant tant dโ€™annรฉes. Il sโ€™aperรงoit enfin quโ€™il peut arrรชter de courir et quโ€™il nโ€™a rien ร  prouver au monde entier.
