Welcoming Sacha Barrette to Victoria!

22 July, 2020 1 min read

West End Gallery Victoria is pleased to welcome Sacha Barrette! Sacha has been delighting collectors in our Edmonton location for over three years, and we are very excited to bring his work to our Victoria clientele.

Sacha obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from Université du Québec à Montréal in 1982 and went on to work successfully at several advertising agencies. Having also worked teaching private art lessons, Sacha’s love of painting intensified, and he made the leap of faith to devote himself entirely to painting.

Inspired by his travels across North and South America, Sacha’s colour palette is a rich combination of deep ochre, burnt orange, rich burgundy, and vibrant blue. Enticing viewers down familiar alleyways and tranquil landscapes, Sacha’s paintings offer a vibrant invitation for your eyes to travel throughout the canvas.

Breath of Life began with a drawing, a simple yet powerful blueprint for what would become a life-sized celebration of nature. In the concept sketches, we see the genesis of her vision—clusters of peonies rendered in loose, confident strokes. These initial marks are the seeds from which the full bloom of the diptych would grow.
