“Martin Douvil is a most enigmatic artist. His technique and style is that of the old masters, making him one of the select modern painters that works exclusively with the technique of ‘glazing.’ Martin’s capacity to paint with a talent and awareness beyond his years leaves his viewers with a sense of awe and wonderment. His images are both striking and personal.
The diversity and evolution of his work stands as a testament to his technical skill and his vision as an artist. His works range from portrait studies, in which the subjects stand in isolation and whose images haunt the viewer, to figure studies that celebrate the sensuality and fragility of the human form.” Quab Gallery, Calgary
