In a Victorian house in the heart of the ByWard Market, where you can find one of the
finest collection of Canadian and international contemporary art.
Galerie Jean-Claude Bergeron is proud to present a collection of recent drawings and paintings by artist Michel V. Cheff. The works in the exhibition were selected from 40 drawings and paintings produced between May and August 2020. It was during this year’s hot summer, settled in his studio, on the shores of Lac de la Marche, in the wilderness of the Gatineau Valley, that the work was carried out. These new works were created ontologically, in search of their existence in the moment. The drawn or painted images emerged in consciousness and came about through the pictorial experience. Time played its role in determining the beginning, the middle and the end of a work, carried out over two, three or several days. It is like a studio journal inscribed at the bottom of each work, like a “diary of the work of art”.
You can visit the exhibition by appointment (613-562-7836) during regular gallery hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
