Notice biographique
Marcelle Ferron Hamelin studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Quebec and Ecole du Meuble in Montreal. She was an early member of the Automatistes, participating in all their group exhibitions. She was a signatory to Refus Global (1948). She moved to Paris in 1953 and lived there for thirteen years. It was in Paris that she learned the art of stained glass from Michel Blum. While she was living in Paris she became one of the first women to win a silver medal at the Sao Paulo Biennial, Brazil (1961). She returned to Quebec in 1966 and began teaching at Laval University. In 1969, she founded, with Yves Trudeau, a group called Création, whose purpose was to unite artists and technicians and become a centre of information on the arts. She designed a number of stained glass windows for Montreal's metro system, in particular Champ-de-Mars Metro, where her piece was one of the first non-figurative works to be installed in the metro. Her work has been featured in more than thirty shows in Canada, and she has also shown in Paris, Brussels, and Munich. The Montreal Musée d'art contemporain staged a retrospective of her work in 1970 and her work was shown in Paris at the Canadian Cultural Centre in 1972.
