Mural artist Serge Malenfant passed away on July 11.¹ He was a happy, audacious and dedicated man whom I had the pleasure of knowing personally. He was one of Sherbrooke’s most talented artists and he had a deep love for our city.Thanks Claims · 58 wordsHe showed that love by making Sherbrooke’s walls his canvas. His trompe-l’oeil murals adorn the streets of Sherbrooke and make the downtown into a real open-air art gallery.² Some of these unique works of art tell the story of our region, while others disguise the doors of elevators in seniors’ care facilities to prevent residents from wandering off.³ Thanks · 66 wordsThis friend of the arts has left behind much more than just murals. He left a part of himself in our city. I want to express my deepest condolences to his wife, Julie, and to his family and friends. Serge Malenfant helped make Sherbrooke a city that leaves a lasting impression, and his work will continue to do just that for a long time to come.Thanks
