Pierre Poulin was born in 1958 in Canada. He began his athletic career in freestyle skiing at 16. Between 1979 and 1984, he was winner of six World Cup in freestyle skiing. He also participated in many other high-level championships. In 1990, he moved to Lac-Beauport where he still lives. Each trip around the world brings him back to his hometown. Pierre Poulin is part of the Canadian legends in freestyle skiing and in 2014 he is nicknamed "painter of snow". Someone said about him that "he is the painter of the highest peaks and, such as skiing, he slips into the world of colors". He became a skilled coach by winning a gold medal for the Sweden women's team and another medal in skiing for men's team. Pierre Poulin is a "real character of circus, unclassifiable as his raw art, a vertiginous man. He jumps in the world of freestyle skiing via the acrobatic dive". In 1992, his mother offered him a kit of painting. Therefore he became a painter. He started in visual arts with passion and conviction. He studied the strenght of the light and symbols. He vigorously transcribed energy through intense, complex and inspired paintings. He started exhibitions in 1996 in Montreal and in Quebec City. In the years of 1996 to 2000, public found him at the Harrison Gallery, in the Montreal World Trade Centre (Canada). Between 2006 and 2009, he exhibited in the USA and in Toronto (Canada). In 2006, he entered in the prestigious collection of Cirque du Soleil (the Guy Laliberte's collection). His work is exhibited at the international headquarters of the Guy Laliberte's company. In 2013, Pierre Poulin became a member of the Artistic Guild of Lac-Beauport. Therefore in 2014, he joined the Creators of Cote-de-Beaupre's network and he became a member of the Creators' tour. 2015 is an important year for Pierre Poulin. He became a permanent artist at the Zen Gallery, located in Lac-Beauport, near Quebec City. Still in 2015, two television documentaries are produced about him and about his work. A critic also art theorist is very interested by his work. She puts a label on Pierre Poulin's work. The artist of Lac-Beauport makes art brut. He is an outsider of art. He is one of those rare Canadian artists practicing that kind of art: the singular and the unclassifiable art.
