As a self-taught artist, Bruneau long searched for ways to claim his own language. Testing paints, searching for his own color palette, the possibilities of various supports. From canvas to handmade paper, to plastic carrier bags and cardboard packaging, everything he got his hands on became the subject of a new work. It was essentially a search that never ended. This is one of the reasons why Bruneau's work branches out in so many directions. Over the years, Bruneau significantly refined his technical abilities. However, it is not the diverse subjects that define the uniqueness of his work, but his clearly recognizable, simple, and clear handwriting.
