Leopold Plotek, combines abstraction and figuration in large format paintings which take as their starting point his memories, his experience of architecture, objects and art, as well as his readings in art, history, and poetry of all periods. His references are elliptically treated however, as he develops ways of painting them according to his own recipe which varies, picture to picture. In this singular pictorial dynamic, each painting is basically a conception on its own, though a series of sorts can exist. As a result, certain of Plotek’s paintings prefigure the practice of many contemporary abstract painters and can be viewed, like them, as extending the range of abstraction.

Louis Belzile was one of the main figures of geometric abstraction in painting in Quebec and one of the members of the Plasticiens group in Montreal along with Jauran, Jean-Paul Jérôme and Fernand Toupin.
