Telbec/ - Quebecor is proud to present Compter le temps
by Louise Robert, an exhibition of
great beauty and power that combines painting and poetry, at its
head office art gallery Espace musée. Louise Robert is known for her unique way of
representing the passing of time in painting and in words. Her
works are a burgeoning of colours, brushstrokes, impasto layers and
scratches. The exhibition is open to all at Espace musée until
February 21, 2020.
"We believe art is an essential expressive voice in our
society," says Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor.
"We have always been committed to promoting the work of talented
Québec artists. With Espace musée Québecor, we wanted to contribute
to the democratization of art by creating a space open to all,
where the public, our employees and strollers in Old Montréal can
discover or rediscover the work of Québec artists. Once again, the
gallery can say mission accomplished with this beautiful exhibition
by painter Louise Robert."
