Over his long and multi-faceted career, Herménégilde Chiasson has emerged as one of New Brunswick’s most recognizable artists, producing work in an astonishing range of media—painting, printmaking, drawing, filmmaking, theatre, performance art and writing. His path intertwines with that of the Acadian community itself—his art both an intimate commentary on the history, culture and traditions of Acadie and the embodiment of the forward thrust of modernism and postmodernism that has fueled the Acadian cultural renaissance.
