Amélie Pomerleau

En territoires féminins

Sculpture | Photography on canvas

Opening
Sunday, February 3 from 2 pm to 4 pm

The recipient of a Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec grant for her project Territoires féminins, artist Amélie Pomerleau’s work explores the nature of the shell. Included in that concept is the protected, sacred space of the female and the scars that women bear. Through her work with ceramics and photography, she positions women at the centre of history, according them a place of honour that is far too often given over to males. It was her work with pond shells that gave rise to her concept of a second skin—the Earth’s crust hardened to bear witness to the human experience. By using measurements that mirror the actual size of our bodies, Amélie Pomerleau’s sculptures produce vivid impressions that create solid bonds with her public.
Her artistic identity centres on an amalgam of feminist, rural and maternal forces. Stories in the news stimulate her finely tuned sensitivity about the injustices that women face, and these very real events and experiences echo throughout her art.

Her life’s journey to date includes extensive studies in the arts (i.e. a bachelor’s degree with a major in sculpture from Concordia University; a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) in stone masonry; and specialized courses and training provided by renowned Italian, French and Québécois(e) teachers working in the areas of design, sculpture, sandblast etching, stone masonry, pottery and moulding/modelling.

The Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm.

Daniel Lalonde

Territoires imaginaires

Paintings

Opening
Sunday, November 4 from 2 pm to 4 pm

This series of paintings called Territoires imaginaires presents parcels of imaginary and unrealistic landscapes. For the past few years, nature is the main source of inspiration for Daniel Lalonde. The distorted or the deconstructed pictorial structures encourage us to reflect on the existence of these imaginary places. The abstract imagery suggests earthly, aquatic or northern elements. Territoires imaginaires also allows introspection in the complex universe of human nature, the horizon being a lifeline and the movements around it suggesting the interior turmoil in every human being.

Daniel Lalonde who lives and works in Montreal holds a master in Sociology and a certificate in Visual Arts at UQAM. He also studied jewelry at Saydie Bronfman Centre, painting with Seymour Segal and Carol Bernier, and workshops in collagraphy at L’atelier Circulaire in Montréal. For the past fifteen years his interest is in visual arts and more specifically in painting. Acrylic is his favorite medium and textures his fascination. He participated in twenty individual and collective exhibits in Québec.

The Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday, from 1 pm to 5 pm.

France McNeil

Ramifications

Painting

Opening
Sunday, September 30 from 2 pm to 4 pm
All life is part of a yet real but great intangible network: earth and sky, human beings and animals, time, silence…
In her works, France McNeil is inspired by the graphic side of lines of branches and foliage and the meaning of life hidden within. These networks and entanglements become metaphors that tend to identify who we are. By using drawings, souvenirs, photographs, imaginary places inspired by nature and forest emerges in her work and encourages reflection on our influence on nature.

The Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday, from 1 pm to 5 pm.

Johanne Bilodeau

L’invisible traversée

Painting and installation work

Opening
Sunday, July 29 from 2 pm to 4 pm

Johanne Bilodeau, a multi-disciplinary artist and author, is a proud mixed-blood, with a native and European heritage. For many years, social ecology has been the heart of her artistic approach. Restoration of natural ecosystems and the preservation of cultural landscapes nourish her research.
The exhibit L’Invisible traversée finds its source within the man-made landscapes of the Fjord du Saguenay in Québec. This region, well explored by the artist, will become the witness of a funeral voyage during which the artist will be the guide. The water of the fjord will be the last resting place of a close parent. The artist’s visual presentation will bring forward the ecological interrelationships in this funeral story. Nature, key to the story, will reveal a native identity through the landscape representation.
L’Invisible traversée offers a unique corpus of 16 works of art and one installation. All will transport you in the past, present and future, becoming one entity: water, fresh and salty at the same time.
Living in Sherbrooke, Johanne Bilodeau, graduated from the L’Université du Québec in Montréal in Fine Arts (1997) and from l’Université de Sherbrooke en Pratiques artistiques actuelles (2015). Her work can be found in public and private collections.
The Gallery is open every day, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Deborah Chapman

Écho de la lumière

Engraving

Opening
Sunday, October 8 from 2 pm to 4 pm

Deborah Chapman, printmaker, has a passion for visual arts. In her exhibit Écho de la lumière, Chapman presents a collection of prints through a technique she refers to as magic called mezzotint, which is a type of copperplate engraving.

This process enhances the lighting and shading while intensifying the vivacity of white through the transitory shifting of dark shades.

The Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday, from 1 pm to 5 pm.

Suzanne Ferland

Espaces perçus

Digital print photography on canevas, acrylic painting

Opening
Sunday, September 10 from 2 pm to 4 pm
Suzanne Ferland examines our relationship with land through her artistic approach.

Throughout photography, she captures certain angles of landscapes that she reframes in order to offer a different perspective. These “standstill moments” grab her attention through symbolic and articial interests. She freely composes a visual space that she transfers into painting, thus creating an unseen universe set in between reality and imagination.

Perceived spaces offers a personal view of different places that symbolize fragile gardens of life and revival, like the orchard and the marsh. Throughout these Perceived Spaces, the artist offers an artificial depiction of reality at which point our perspective loses its typical examples of landscape.
The Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday, from 1 pm to 5 pm.

Lisanne Binette & Eva Richardson

Jardins bigarrés – Passages

Acrylic on birch wood and canevas – Oil painting and collage

Opening
Sunday, August 13 from 2 pm to 4 pm

Jardins bigarrés by Lisanne Binette is inspired by nature and land work. There is non-verbal dialogue taking place between her surroundings and her passion for painting in its materaility and colours. Through minimalist aesthetics, Binette tries to show the natural and cultivated components of a garden on another level than observed reality. “I am searching for spontaneity when I start painting as if it were the first one, and I disregard the rules of a traditional perspective. A Spanish proverb highlights this idea that a garden actually grows more than what the gardener planted. It is up to each individual to experience their own liveliness and come up with different interpretations of these paintings.”

Passages, by Eva Richardson, is a body of work that explores the interaction between the random and control. By adding and subtracting thin layers of paint Eva works the surfaces of her paintings to reveal different dynamics of movement and texture. Her collages, made from found materials such as old notebooks, packaging, envelopes and letters are inspired by materials that carry their own sense of history and embody the passage of time.

Eva Richardson studied painting and drawing at Concordia University and at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. She works and lives in Montréal.

The Gallery is open every day, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Guylaine Chevarie-Lessard

Espace du dedans

Acrylic on canvas, acrylic ink on paper, drawing

Opening
Sunday, June 11 from 2 pm to 4 pm

The gesture of Guylaine Chevarie-Lessard’s artistic practice is like a dancing body, whereby art is transformed into poetic language and visual signs. Thanks to the inspiration of colours from her garden in Frelighsburg, Quebec and those of the ocean and mountainous spaces, Chevarie-Lessard’s journeys through landscapes become the starting point of an action painting, or gestural abstraction. The paint is no longer confined to the canvas, but rather leads to artwork that emerges the viewer to a type of visual poem for an inner experience.

Guylaine Chevarie-Lessard works and lives in Montréal and Frelighsburg. She has participated in a few group exhibitions such as the Le livre imaginé at L’aire libre in 2014 and the 5e Biennale de dessins at the Musée des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire in 2015. Also, she participated in a number of solo exhibits at the Galerie L’aire libre and the Bonheur d’occasion librarie in 2015, followed by the Galerie d’art du Parc in Trois-Rivières in 2016. In 2009, Chevarie-Lessard recieved her bachelor’s degree in visual arts at Concordia University after which she was awarded the Guido Molinari Prize in Studio Arts. In 2015, she completed her doctorate in art studies and practices at UQAM. She also obtained a master’s degree in philosophy in 2001 and received a doctorate in literary studies from 2002-2005 at UQAM as well. During her studies, Chevarie-Lessard has also received various awards such as the FQRSC and SSHRC.

The Gallery is open every day, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Françoise Ségard

Penser penché II

Encaustic

Opening
Sunday, October 23 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, October 30 from 2 pm to 4 pm

In the project « Penser penché II », Françoise Ségard, who completed a degree in visual arts and media in 2015, presents a body of work that explores the many specific pictorial techniques of wax-painting (beeswax and pigments) as of the free representation of an aerial view.

It brings the audience through different stages of emotions that can be experienced from a high angle. The medium’s sensibility transforms the image, thus allowing the artist to create a mix of representational and abstract images.

It is made from imaginary mapped areas that reflect its ability to understand the surrounding. Ségard’s artworks can be found in public, private and corporate collections.

Francine Potvin

Florilegium

Collagraphy and cyanotypes

Opening
Sunday, September 18 from 2 pm to 4 pm

This exhibition is a tribute to plants: unique, mysterious, beautiful, useful, independent, quiet, and completely peaceful life forms (Francis Hallé).

Native flora and weeds found far or near are inspiring, and exhilarates me by the green ecstacy (Gisele Lamoureux) that sometimes turns into a Prussian blue.

Florilegium offers a variety of collagraphy and cyanotype pieces. Both processes exploit the plants themselves to create images called Nature Printing, an old tradition that uses the surface of the object to make prints.

I say that if someone meditates to the world, it is the plant. (Paul Valery). And I meditate along with it.

Francine Potvin would like to thank the Concordia Part-time Faculty Association (CUPFA).

Steven Spazuk

Dialogues autour du feu

Soot painting

Opening
Sunday, August 14 from 2 pm to 4 pm

Since 2001, Steven Spazuk has expressed his artistic vision through the technique of “fire painting.” He uses the open flame of a candle on a blank canvas to create a sooty effect, which he then sculpts using feathers, stylus, brushes and scrapers.

He immerses himself in the humanity of his subjects to create portraits of remarkable figures; he expresses the fragility of the species that share our living space.

Steven Spazuk has participated in numerous exhibitions and performances in Montreal, New York, Milan, Toronto, Berlin, Florence and Stavanger, and later this year in Nagano, Japan.

Martin Sénéchal

Chemin faisant sur des vestiges utopistes

Paintings

Martin Sénéchal’s painting attempts to un-paint the world in order to recompose it on a canvas where reference marks are lost and found again, where the known world becomes suddenly foreign and then returns to itself, filled with new possibilities. At the center of the artist’s approach is the desire to engage in a dialogue between various images coming from different times, cultures, regions of the world.
In the process of symbolic diversion and recomposition which characterizes Martin Sénéchal’s painting, a dialogue is established between several images which conflict with each other or merge on the canvas. A fertile dialogue takes place between pluralism, syncretism, merging of eras, cultures, artistic trends and references in order to think the world differently.
As one wanders through the exhibition, which covers a period of ten years of production, one will perceive an evolution : one can notice changes as much in the techniques used as in the issues raised, but one can also notice similarities, even constants.
