ARTIST
Charlie Poirier, an artist hailing from Cheticamp, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, made a mark as a sculptor and woodcarver during the late 20th century. Poirier's artistic repertoire primarily comprises bird and occasional human figurine carvings, often depicting the vibrant lives of Cape Breton islanders. His bird carvings are particularly noteworthy, featuring what he charmingly dubs 'flows.' In these creations, he artfully arranges birds of matching colours on 'as found' driftwood branches, imbuing them with grace, movement, energy, and humor. Working with pine as his primary medium, Charlie Poirier infuses each piece with bright primary colours. His work celebrates the spirit of Cape Breton island life.
