Michel Savoie. Stèles et pavots (les jardins séculaires)

The exhibition

Stèles et pavots (les jardins séculaires) by Michel Savoie, professor in the fine arts department at UQAM, is a ceramics installation. The stelae, poppies and columns appear within three autonomous devices, creating a dialogue.

This exhibition draws its inspiration from the general theme of stelae pursued by Savoie in recent years. Captives of memory, these forms generate for the artist numerous significant plastic avenues in which poetic imagination is possible. Poppy fruits appeared out of a taste for nature. It was intuitively that Michel Savoie decided to match their shape to that of the stele, aesthetically joining the idea he anticipated of creating centuries-old gardens.

The exhibition Stèles et pavots (les jardins séculaires) by Michel Savoie is presented at the same time as Œuvres à géometrie variable by Jean-Yves Leblanc and Fugue pour une fleur by Jean-Jacques Fauchois.
