I had the pleasure of meeting Achille at my Aströ exhibition at Hachem St-Bruno in September 2023. After examining my work, he humbly handed me his business card.

Later that day, when I visited his website, I realized I had just met an Old Master.

Achille has since become a mentor to me. He’s one of the most rigorous artists I’ve met so far. He knows his art inside out. His sense of analysis and practice reminds me I have much to learn from him. And obviously, I’m not the only one, as he teaches drawing and painting daily.

Here’s his website (in French only): https://www.achilleskwagn.com/copie-de-n-accueil
