Trust Award. He was also awarded the 2003 Prix Louis-Comtois for "excellence within the visual arts" by the City of Montreal and the Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC). Known for photography, painting, and the creative "synergy and fusion" between the two, Voir journalist Matthieu Petit wrote that Tremblay's "signature lies in photographic and pictorial parallels, but also in the enigmas that he enjoys developing." Art reviewer Françoise Belu noted in his work a sense "of being and non-being", which Nancy Pedri described in Circa Art as "showing and hiding, the curtain and the motif". Noting the viewer's role in completing the staging or mis-en-scene, Vie des Arts critic Jean-Jacques Bernier described his work as "moving from the particular to the general or universal". Also recognized as a cinematographer, Tremblay's video "Gugging", co-written and produced with Anne-Marie Rocher, received the 1996 Special Jury Prize – International Festival of Films on Art and Pedagogy (UNESCO Paris, France).
