Gradual Light Dawn Simulator

The portraits of Francis Desharnais

"The smoker red cap of Francis Desharnais , is the intimate portrait of a minor.

After 60 years of operation, the asbestos mine in Quebec Asbestos in East Broughton, Beauce, closed its doors. Over the years it has provided work for hundreds of workers in the region. It closed in 1958, leaving hundreds of people like this "smoking red cap" without work.

In the foreground, hand knotted and disproportionate man tells us the status of a manual worker, lost his eye reveals the void left by the closure of the mine, his tired face outline the rough life that it could lead to. This portrait of large (122 cm x 91 cm) was treated aggressively by DESHARNAIS François, Quebec painter who likes to paint the human consciousness. "
