Isabelle Lapierre

A Québec city native, the multidisciplinary artist Isabelle Lapierre’s journey consists of many creative residences, individual and collective exhibitions throughout Québec. Ouvrir le feu is about drawing first or, in a broader sense, to engage in the action. The artist uses poetry to transform the expression, invoking a breach into the feeling of gloom linked to the current ecological crisis, allowing us to encounter a live force, revealing a certain power. The exhibition will portray nature and humanity in peril, but it will also symbolically show the underlying mystical and profane activity of this sad reality. Juxtaposing paintings with apocalyptic landscapes and assemblages, the installation will emphasize the catastrophe by also becoming the land of all possibilities.
