Highlighting artist Mark Leduc now featured in "THE OUTSIDERS" exhibition on view at the gallery.

Working for over thirty years at the intersection of Art Informel and Art Brut, Marc Leduc has invented, through his drawings and encaustic paintings on wood, an original graphic language and a deeply personal poetry that evokes fiercely free inner landscapes, definitely detached from any concession to the dictates of the times.

Visit the gallery and explore the artists inner landscapes and our other fantastic artists featured in "THE OUTSIDERS".

May 30 - June 27

"THE OUTSIDERS" this month at the gallery. May 30 - Jun. 27

Outsider art is closely linked to the term Art Brut - literally "raw art" - coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe works created outside the reach of academic training or cultural institutions. Art Brut often arises in solitude, driven by an urgent need to express, rather than a desire to impress. These creations may carry a naive quality, but often reveal an astonishing intensity, often tapping into universal emotions with a raw immediacy that trained artists sometimes struggle to capture.

Join us and explore the fascinating works of Quebec artists Anick Langelier, Luc Giard, Marc Leduc and Ontario based artists Devon Marinac, James Kirkpatrick and Fruit Stains.

SOREL ETROG (1933 - 2014) "A work of art has a mysterious existence, which most of the time is untranslatable and inexplicable. I could measure out my life not with coffee spoons, but rather with the many battles I fought with exploration. Being vulnerable is the human side of art." Sorel Etrog

Our gallery proudly represents the Estate and works of the celebrated Canadian artist Sorel Etrog (1933 - 2014).
