Louise Guimond: Textures Exhibition

Opening Night:

Date: May 12, 2023 

Time: 5 pm-8 pm

Location: 1842 rue William, Montreal, QC

Louise Guimond is a Montreal-based visual artist. Following a long career as a fashion designer and costume stylist, her love of colour and texture led her to painting.  Over the past several years, she has honed her skills and has created a unique visual language that melds figurative realism and abstraction.

Not constrained to a single medium, style or subject, Louise paints with oils and acrylics mixed with collage to create textural interest. Her creative process begins without a preconceived final result but instead, an image slowly emerges through multiple layers. These textured layers allow her to build movement, impromptu highlights and markings upon her subjects.

Louise’s artwork is a reflection of her passion for painting. She believes that each canvas is an opportunity to explore and to experiment with colour, texture and emotion, creating a captivating visual experience for the viewer.

Louise Guimond's artwork can be viewed on her Instagram @louiseguimondart.

This exhibition will mesmerize you with a series of portraits inspired by the subtle sensuality of human expressions. Her portraits capture the mood of the subject, through a soft tilt of the head or a penetrating gaze. By doing so, Louise emotionally engages the viewer and draws them into a specific moment.

Please note, the meseum admission fees are waived for the opening night event, however, they will apply throughout the duration of the exhibition.
