Portfolios

Andréanne Le.Hudon has left the dust of the Turcot interchange for the mountains of Charlevoix, where – feet in the earth, spade and brush in hand – she paints, draws and landscapes. Her paintings present the effects of an encounter in which her confronted gaze is betrayed and transformed by the material. The living elements she observes are metamorphosed, becoming mysterious and fascinating once again, giving rise to an underlying reality. This is how chimeras are born.

Her work has traveled with her to Quebec, Canada and France. She observed caterpillars in Rouyn-Noranda during a residency at L’Écart – lieu d’art actuel, prepared a herbarium drawn from the flowerbeds of Montreal during a master’s degree at UQAM, and, more recently, roamed the woods of her region and painted her garden thanks to the support of the Élizabeth Greenshields Foundation and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Audrée Demers-Roberge (Lévis) lives in Saint-Casimir. She completed a master’s degree in visual arts and a bachelor’s degree in visual and media arts at Université Laval, with a year of study in Finland. She presents À la rencontre du Gros Morne, a solo exhibition at the Parc Canada Visitor Centre in Rocky Harbor, Newfoundland. She has presented various solos, including one at Oeil de Poisson for Manif d’art’s Winter Garden. She has exhibited as part of a group at Plural and Art Toronto, represented by Galerie C.O.A., at Vu Photo, at the Foire en art actuel de Québec and at the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul. She has been in residence at Est-Nord-Est, Engramme, Vaste et vagues and Le Château – Association Diagn’Art in Senegal. Some of her works are now part of the Desjardins Collection, the Méduse Collection and the Collection d’oeuvres d’art de la Ville de Lévis. She realized her first public artwork thanks to Première Ovation’s public art mentoring program.

Jean Michel René is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Quebec City. Since 2017, he has been developing a body of video, photographic, performative and installation work in which the body, duration, image and landscape converge. His artistic research is intimate and introspective. It focuses essentially on his own experience of living and the notion of existence, which he regularly addresses through poetic autofictions. The concepts of absence and presence are key to his approach.

Olivier Moisan Dufour holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in visual arts from the École d’art de l’Université Laval. He has participated in several group exhibitions, including Peinture fraîche et nouvelle construction (2016 and 2019) at Art Mûr gallery in Montreal, as well as public art events such as Passages insolites à Québec (2019). Olivier has also had several solo exhibitions, including Idée d’objet (2019) at Université Laval’s Galerie des Arts visuels, Inventaire (2019) at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi’s L’Œuvre de l’Autre gallery, Représenter (2020) with Manif d’art, Constructions multicolores (2023-2024), La Démarche (2024) at Voart in Val d’Or, and Architectures, for which he received the Prix Videre relève. His work has also been exhibited internationally, notably in Germany, Mexico, Colombia and Cameroon. He is currently working on an arts integration project (1%) for an elementary school in Quebec City.

Patrick Forchild ‘s artistic approach revolves around painting, graffiti and photography. The artist-traveler is also an accomplished entrepreneur: the AVIVE clothing company, which he directs and for which he signs most of the visual design, celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024. His creations are populated by recurring characters and motifs that evolve with his travels and encounters. Indeed, the exhibitions he takes part in, his passion for graffiti, the murals he creates and the many collaborative projects in which he participates lead him to wander, from one medium to another, between urban and rural settings. Active in the Quebec City art community, Patrick Forchild is also a founding member of Galerie Morgan Bridge.
