"For Mike Segal, 1973" exhibited at the Carmen Lamanna Gallery in Toronto, in 1973 and is a vibrant example of Bolduc's innovative techniques and deep understanding of colour and composition.

In "For Mike Segal, 1973" Bolduc employs his concept of the "vertical member," a distinctive and recurrent theme in his work. Bolduc once said that for him the vertical member resembled 'a figure, a tree, a stamen, a mast, a stack of colours, a line of organizational force an armature upon which the rest of the painting was wound'. They are strategically replicated across the canvas, serving as conduits for colour, vivid and striking, they set against a textured backdrop that adds both depth and intrigue to the painting. Impastoed to the canvas (the paint directly applied from the tube), lends these vertical elements a tactile and dynamic quality, further accentuating their importance in the composition.

David Bolduc's philosophy on colour is especially evident in this work. His intention was not just to use colour, but to transform it, to give mundane hues a new life and vibrancy. "I'm interested in taking a nothing colour and giving it some bite to make it warmer," he stated, emphasizing his focus on reinvigorating the ordinary with extraordinary warmth and depth. This approach is a testament to his commitment to using colour as his primary expressive tool, making each hue work to create a cohesive and striking visual experience.

David Bolduc's significant contributions to the art world are recognized and celebrated in numerous collections across Canada, including: The Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Canada Council Art Bank, Art Gallery of Alberta, National Gallery of Canada, Collection of The Honourable John Aird, Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, Art Gallery of Ontario, Bank of Montreal, Cadillac Fairview, Sir George Williams Art Gallery, Concordia University, Montreal, Deutsche Bank, TD Bank and many others.
