« L’intelligence est la force, solitaire, d’extraire du chaos de sa propre vie la poignée de lumière suffisante pour éclairer un peu plus loin que soi -vers l’autre là-bas, comme nous égaré dans le noir. »

Christian Bobin

« …rien ne périt malgré les apparences

Puisque tout se transforme et que toute naissance En ce monde a besoin du secours de la mort. »

Lucrèce

Dans la nuit d’un temps immémorial… sont apparues certaines traces de l’Humain dans les champs d’une discrète éternité. En parcourant ce fragment de l’œuvre de Stella Pace, je crois entendre un cri face au silence et à l’absence de mots pour dire les solitudes de l’Humain. La mort rôde dans ces champs d’errance. Au loin, il y a tant de chair et de sang…

Extrait de la préface de l'exposition Les errants de la nuit. ..

“Lines and shapes in space are the supporting elements of my works. These shapes, these lines, I want them to be more and more significant.

What do these lines, these shapes express?

A harmonious opposition?

A search for strength, dynamism? A tendency towards beautiful sincerity? Certain austerity? A search for the essential, the sacred?

Or maybe all of these at once?”

Lucie Jolicoeur Côté

XYLON QUÉBEC

From Tuesday February 8 to Saturday March 12, 2022

Vernissage Saturday February 12 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

 
 

Xylon au carré

The Xylon au carré Project was launched in the fall of 2019. Xylon members were invited to work on a 31.5 cm square format engraving. The twenty-five artists explore this constraint with great freedom of subjects and expressions. The square is thus used as its own subject, as a basis in the composition of the images, or even as a metaphor for the pandemic, both structuring and reassuring or, conversely, a source of confinement.

Jocelyne Benoit, Marie-France Bertrand, Micheline Bertrand, Claudette Delisle Menier, Nicole Doré-Brunet, Élisabeth Dupond, Monique Dussault, Carole Fisette, Renée Gélinas, Marilyse Goulet, Johanna Griffith, Julianna Joos, Ingeborg Jürgensen Hiscox, Louise Ladouceur, Claire Lemay, Marie-Aline Lemay, Louise Lemieux Bérubé, Noémie Lesquins, Odile Loulou, Stella Pace, Rolande Pelletier, Adeline Rognon, Anaïs Ronceray, Susie Veroff, Deborah Wood.

Du blanc au noir

Xylon-Québec also represents Du blanc au noir, his fourth artist's book produced in 2011. Presented in loose sheets, the book includes two poems by Claudine Bertrand and twenty-three relief engravings. The prints were done in black, including variations in gray. There too, the theme was free.

Xylon-Québec

Xylon-Québec is an association of professional artists working in wood engraving, which functions as a publisher and broadcaster stimulating research, creation, and promotion of relief printing. In 1985, Xylon-Québec has been recognized as a national branch of Xylon International. Since then, the association has concentrated its activities in the edition of several artists’ books and the organization of numerous group exhibitions. The technique of relief printing involves inking the protruding surface of the matrix, generally with a roller. Nowadays, artists may also use other materials besides wood, like linoleum, Plexiglas, plaster, cardboard, etc.
