With the paint brush in hand, he dances on a tightrope between cartoon, graffiti and painting. His passport states that he is stateless, which means that he is a foreigner in this country where he was born. It is a freedom he has always been proud of. Perhaps it is that quality that allows him to observe things so strikingly from the sidelines. What Bruneau makes is never morbid or negativistic. As a painter he looks for a positive note everywhere. The color. Humor is never far away. Sometimes he draws more than he paints. Precise and sharp. But Bruneau knows what distinguishes painting from drawing. He changes, paints over, works in layers. Uses text, strikes out text, overwrites.
