Biography from AskART:
| The following is courtesy of Ellen Bennett:
Gilles was born in Montreal, Canada on January 6, 1947. The artist began his career in the advertising business as a photographer/illustrator. With over 100 book covers and illustration designs for Kraft General Foods, Reader's Digest and Bristol-Myers, Archambault changed directions in 1979 to devote himself entirely to his rapture for painting. For many years watercolor was his passion; then three years ago he made an alternation to acrylic. In his new medium, he created inspirational and romantic European subjects. Mr. Archambault work is intended to convey his love of sunshine, light, and his fascination with the plays of shadow that shape existing forms into masses and create their own distinct theme.
It is typical for Gilles to depict the silence of Provence streets scenes, slow moving canals, wonderful colored doors with clay pots overflowing with numerous blooming plants, and everywhere enchanting blue shutters.
The artists exhibitions began in 1980. His partial list of corporate collectors is nearing one hundred. Private collectors are in the United States, France and other European countries, Saudi Arabia and Canada.
