exposition douze battements de coeur

« Des lignes et des formes sur une matrice de bois ou de métal, et un dialogue se crée entre l’image et le geste. L’impression à l’encre sur papier traduit les pensées qui m’ont habitée depuis le processus initial. Ces techniques de la gravure ancienne, je les ai voulues variées et contemporaines. J’ai ensuite proposé à chaque poète un de mes douze entretiens artistiques et rêveurs afin qu’ils interprètent leur vision de mon œuvre. Cette édition de PoèmeArt a donc été réalisée avec la collaboration de José Acquelin, Louky Bersianik, Claudine Bertrand, Jean-Paul Daoust, Monique Deland, Louise Desjardins, Louise Gareau-Des Bois, Alain Horic, Pierre Nepveu, Bernard Pozier, Jean Royer et France Théoret. »

exhibition saloon story part iv

By accomplishing this exhibition project, I hope to explore the notion of ornamentation by combining installation, ceramic and printmaking. By using this multidisciplinary approach, I intend to create an installation where various aesthetics meet and force the viewer to confront simultaneously Western, Japanese and Victorian notions. Firstly, I will create a series of silkscreens, framed by gouache vignettes of cowboys and samurais. Secondly, I will create wallpaper imitating the toile de jouy pattern, only with cowboys. Lastly, I will present ceramics decorated with the same patterns as the wallpaper. The whole of the installation brought together by two main colors, red and black.

Opening: Thursday 19th April at 17:30.

Artist’s statement

In his practice, Wieslaw Haladaj explores the expressive power of the line. The artist’s compositions, particularly dense and dramatic, are founded on the dynamics of the diagonal. The criss crossing and slashing lines express a powerful tension. Out of these accumulations of frantic scratches, emerge dark and haunting faces, enigmatic contorted bodies, and half man half animal creatures. Darkness towards light, the artist seeks to reveal the genesis of the human psyche, that moment of animal fear when the human realizes the vacuity of his transitory existence.

biography

Wieslaw Haladaj was born in Piotrkow Trybunalski (Poland) in 1959. After having completed his studies in visual arts at University of Lodz in 1984, the artist pursued a career in printmaking, painting and drawing. In addition to numerous individual exhibitions in his own country he participated in more tran 150 group exhibitions around the world and received more than 20 International prizes for printmaking. The most prestigous are:
First Prize of the International Print Triennial in Kanagawa (Japan) in 1998,

Grand Prize of the International Triennial of Printmaking in Ufa (Russia) 2004;

ANDRÉE-ANNE DUPUIS-BOURRET

Exhibition Tuesday 16th August - Saturday 29th October 2011

Opening: Thursday 25th August 2011 et 17:30

Exhibition définition d’affichage

In the exhibition Définitions d’affichage, the artist presents a range of works made from printed papers. Inspired by pixelated media imagery and construction games, the artist creates abstract and geometric spaces by folding printed paper. The space created by the folds and random traits modifies our relation to the surface of these works. The surface becomes malleable, an interface offering unlimited possibilities of combinations. There is thus a dialogue between the ways we perceive, imagine and interact with our environment, as well as the impact scientific and media imagery incur. How do tools, images and interfaces affect our relation to space and distances, to temporality?

The artist thanks le Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec for his support for the creation of the works presented in this exhibition.

Pierre Durette

Exhibition 16th November - 15th January 2010

Opening: Thursday 18th November 2010 at 17:30

Exhibition synchronicité

On the 16th of November, the Montreal artist Pierre Durette will be showing a series of new works at the Atelier-galerie Alain Piroir. The show consists of two large lithographs and a series of etchings. Durette’s exhibit revisits genre works situating them somewhere between the Middle Ages and the world of science fiction. Within these worlds, miniature characters float and accumulate on a white background. The resulting jamming of lines evokes a meeting of worlds and from this jumble new cultures and religions emerge. According to Durette, this is a reflection on the evolution of threat and also the manufacturing of a new history.

The staging of time is central to Durette’s work. Between the grotesque lines and the mash up of centuries, the work revisits the idea of the traditional time line, mixing time, culture and tradition.

Pierre Durette is originally from the Matapedia valley and has a bachelor of visual and media arts from UQAM. His work has received numerous mentions and prizes and has been shown at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal as well as galleries in Ontario and Québec.

L’Atelier-galerie Alain Piroir is a studio and gallery space dedicated to the creation and the exhibition of contemporary printed works. Open since 2007, the gallery’s mandate is to support artists in their practice and to promote contemporary printed works in the larger public.
