I participate in the wonderful project Deux par deux | Exposition buissonnière of the Gallery B-312 as a host! I am exhibiting a work by Mathieu Latulippe in my dining room: La chute, (2013). It fascinates me very much and accompanies our family meals in an extraordinary way.
Booklet | Two by Two
Very happy to be part of the Deux par deux | Exposition buissonnière of the Gallery B-312. Until the end of the year, we welcome Le Malin by Philippe Caron Lefebvre in our living room. A sculpture straight out of the seabed, it humbly reminds us of the complexity of nature and the limits of our knowledge.
I often spend long minutes strolling on my couch, losing myself in the work of Cindy Phenix. Each character becomes more and more familiar. Sometimes I see celebration and exaltation and at other moments a form of madness, even almost violence. It's already hard for me to believe that it will no longer be part of my daily life, but that's the beauty of this exercise!
We are not very active on social media, but we talked about the project and the work of Patrick Bérubé with people around us. We only received good comments! We chose this artwork because we liked the black and white images as well as the wooden frame. Initially, we didn't notice the 3D details in the photos. Moreover, the more we observe it, the more we notice new details.
Since March, we have been fortunate enough to welcome two works by Eric Cardinal to our home. They sit above our dining room table… a table which during the pandemic often served as a teleworking desk. In addition to brightening up our meals, they also provided us a great setting for our online meetings and the classes / workshops we gave.
Despite its discreet features, emphasized by many people, the work presents interesting and emerging peculiarities. The work is appreciated and loved. It dresses the entrance hall nicely and also does a great job of promoting art. When we observe it carefully, beyond the play of shadow and light (inherent in the place where it is installed as well as in the lighting), we see the scene emerge.
I was delighted when B-312 offered me this association. I have appreciated the work of Andréanne Godin for several years and I can thus focus on her work, take the time it takes to observe it well. In an intimate format, it flirts with non-figuration and allows the mind to wander. Its contrasting colors, its shades of black and white enchant me.
I dreamed one night that F. was putting a glue on me. She asked me: since you live with this sculpture now, do you understand the title that the artist gave it? - No, not really, it's a mystery. - Come on, come on, make an effort! You spend your life decoding mysteries, wanting to understand and explain everything. - Maybe, but it suits me to have this foreign body in my bedroom.
