Arbor Gallery welcomes Guylaine Gagnier for her exhibition “Humeurs et ressentis”, which runs from October 24 to November 17. The show features over 40 paintings and mixed media artworks by the Hawkesbury-based artist.
Says Gagnier, “My artistic practice is a place of freedom, authenticity and spirituality. My creations often depict colorful characters that emerge from abstraction followed by multiple layers of paint. I believe they speak to my interest in humans and their presence.”
Gagnier’s style is unique and striking: “Opaque colors allow me to express myself boldly, frankly and whimsically,” she states. “By changing mediums, many parts of oneself can surface, yet the foundations of the artist’s unique voice remain.”
Retired since 2019, Gagnier pursued a career in psychotherapy and art therapy. She now devotes her time to her artistic practice, painting, sculpting, and developing intuitive art workshops. She has exhibited at both Centre Culturel Le Chenail and Espace Culturel St-Gilles.
The public is invited to meet the artist at her vernissage on Saturday, October 26, from 1pm to 3pm. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, visit www.arborgallery.org Arbor Gallery is located at 36 Home Ave., Vankleek Hill.
