"In the spirit of Bellefleur, it is the whirlwind, almost the maelstrom: Klee and the children, Breton and Surrealism, Kandinsky and abstraction, Borduas and Automatism, the visionary fantasy of Dali or Pellan, the imaginations tortured by Sade or Lautréamont, Tanguy and dreamlike space "1. - Guy Robert, Bellefleur, iconia, 1988

His work is known for its explosions of color, for the use of a palette of luminous colors, for its work with the spatula and for fine splashes of paint. A lyrical abstraction that promotes the free and spontaneous expression of the subconscious. He became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1989.
