Paul-Émile Dumoulin has been working for his city’s library for 25 ans. He is serious, proud, nervous and sometimes really clumsy! The shelves must be impeccable, with each book in its place.

L’ASSOCIATION D’ARTS VISUELS DU GRAND CHÂTEAUGUAY presents Solstice d’hiver December 6 to January 22 Vernissage on Friday, December 6, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Sunday, December 8, 3 p.m.

Medium: Mixed The solstices and equinoxes come and go with the rhythm of the seasons, inspiring many cultural celebrations. Through their emotions, artists follow the flow of the seasons. Sometimes borrowing refreshing colours, sometimes a comforting luminosity, they give rhythm to their work. A solstice is also a pause; time stops for awhile before going back in another direction. Artists takes advantage of these moments to adjust their colours, develop a new technique and discover new textures. It is therefore with great enthusiasm, colour and passion that we invite you to this artists’ solstice!

Jean-Pierre-Houde room

The artist is very enthusiastic about her seventh solo exhibition. After the exhibitions called La primauté du geste libre, Bousculer la ligne, La forêt des automates and Paysages élémentaires, among others, she is launching Beautés en série.

The ultimate goal of this project is to highlight the beauty that surrounds us. Having refused to read mass media news or listen to news stations / channels for three years to protect herself from the negative influence they could have on her, her works act as protection against the violence and sadness that hovers over us. Enjoy the exhibition!

This travelling exhibition targets, on the one hand, people who have experienced the ice storm and, on the other hand, visitors who are curious about discovering the crisis, not only as a weather phenomenon, but also as an event that strengthened relationships among neighbours and that sparked the ingenuity of hydro workers and the public.
