André Philibert has been called the "Painter of the Night" by many critics but it would be more accurate to describe him as a painter of the full moon, of the sunrise and the sunset, or maybe even as a magician. His works depict another reality, all enveloped in blue, but so real that the viewer forgets his own.
   André Philibert has produced numerous scenes of Quebec in winter, with everything under snow, fit by a moon beam or by the rising sun. These are scenes which make us feel good, and which remind us of childhood.
   Philibert's works is refreshing, contemporary by the geometry of its forms, and unique because of his mastery of technique.

Blue is present everywhere but there are many nuances of it. This allows the artist to make us travel through time and space to a mythical universe. The luminosity of his landscapes creates a night time atmosphere of calm and quiet. In them, we see figures on lonely roads, or beside lakes or rivers, always at a rather imprecise time of the night.
   In his book Philibert, Ies couleurs de la nuit (Philibert, Colours of the Night), Jacques de Roussan explains that Philibert's subject is the cosmos which he divides into three: the world of human beings, the world of nature, and the celestial world, with stars and waves embracing all three.
   A graphic artist by training, Andre Philibert has taken part in numerous

exhibitions, solo and group, and his works can be found in Europe and the United States as well as in Canada.
