Robert Marchessault is a Canadian painter focused mainly on natural forms. For over 35 years he has painted in series, small and large, that act as investigations of living plants, especially trees. These series are done concurrently, each one takes a different approach to expressing the artist's love for his subject. The series are ongoing and consist of abstractions, allusions, landscapes and isolated subjects.
Robert Marchessault is represented by Bau-Xi Galleries Toronto and Vancouver, GdB Montreal, New York and Miami, Foster White Galleries Seattle, and is married to the Canadian mimimalist painter Teresa Cullen.

"Never was the image of a single tree capable of conveying a whole story, as if every one had a personality, and occupied its space in a special mood. Loneliness, suffering, pride, repose. "
