Painting

With a lot of humour, the contemporary artist Maria Lezón gives herself in The Dangers of Maternity the liberty to paint her feelings as if they were a series of terrible accidents.

Collection Dog

Installation

Collection Dog consists of a series of works imbued with humour and mockery on the theme of fanaticism and over consumption of objects bearing the effigy of a dog. What is it that makes us disguise an animal and transform it ever more into an image of ourselves?

Ariane Thézé

Numeric prints

The artist explores images of nocturnal and infrared vision. Bodies represented are frozen in their movements and fixed in time. Some are caught using a night-vision camera while others are made visible by their own heat.

Shahla Bahrami

Sima

Installation

The inherited oriental beliefs and acquired western experiences of the artist make her live a dualism resulting in a corpus of works crisscrossed by two cultures. Repercussions of this duality echo in the technical means used; photographic transfer and painting producing an improbable and ambiguous image, of oriental flavour, which possesses the realism of photography and the illusion of painting.

Summer Solstice Group Exhibition

Mystery, intangible evanescence, inexplicable unfamiliarity… Faced with these sometimes unimaginable questions, can the artist transform strangeness into… the familiar?

Ginette Bernier

From East to West : an aquatic journey

Drawing and photography

The exhibition presents works inspired by the Gaspé and Outaouais regions. Drawings and photographies made by the artist while immersed in these regions explore aspects related to identity, borders and displacement. Through the amalgamation of sceneries, people and place histories, the works bear witness to the crossings, physical, social and intimate, of these spaces. An infiltration of human and plastic experiences.

Ice prints

Photography

Each Februay, for over a decade, the artist photographed an ice-fishing village near the city of Montreal. Ice Fishing on Lac des Deux Montagnes is a traditional meeting place; ironically secure near corporate towers and urban traffic on one hand, yet part of the bigger picture, of an environment under siege by global climate change.

Katy Le Van

Ready-to-wear

Installation

Katy Le Van creates spaces of aesthetic experience where seduction, both compelling and elusive, acts as the central theme. The spectator comes to live this experience through installations characterized by the transfiguration of banal domestic materials into aesthetic matter. The universe reference of this reflection is that of fashion, influential and ephemeral, much like seduction.
