Three States of Fibre. Mylène Boisvert, Julie Bénédicte Lambert, Nathalie Levasseur

September 6 to November 2, 2025

The three artists in this exhibition work with natural materials that come from the stems or leaves of plants—thread from linen paper, rye straw and wicker—all of which are respectful of nature and renewable. Demonstrating skill and knowledge, the artists create textured and expressive works that pay tribute to nature or express pain in sculptural form.

Anna Binta oscura

Oscura – Anna Binta Diallo

Inspired by lunar phases, eclipses, global myths, and folklore, Anna Binta Diallo’s Oscura reimagines the garden as an ethereal space where we can explore the mysteries of the cosmos and its deep relationship with humanity. 

Oscura features silhouettes of humans, animals, celestial bodies and natural elements that engage in a dialogue with the trees and plants of the park and the skies under which they are gathered.  Relying on the interplay of light and shadow, they capture the metaphorical whispers of the moon as their rich visual narrative invites us to contemplate the secrets of our planet and the timeless dance of celestial bodies. 

For a complete experience, discover the soundscape composed in collaboration with Tyler Fitzmaurice. 

This project is presented by the Stewart Hall Art Gallery.

History


The Stewart Hall Art Gallery is located on the third floor of a beautiful home built by Charles MacLean in 1905. The building was acquired by the City of Pointe-Claire from May Beatrice Stewart for a symbolic $1 in 1954 and became the Stewart Hall Cultural Centre in 1959.

Vi Duncanson, who had been instrumental in founding the Centre, became its Administrative Director. She also got the ball rolling to open an art gallery in the Centre and was officially mandated to do so with help from Evan Turner, Director of the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts, Jean-Paul Morisset, Director of Extension Services at the National Gallery of Canada, Professor Winthrop Judkins of McGill University, and his wife, Helen Judkins. The Stewart Hall Art Gallery opened its doors to the public in 1963.

The MacLean residence was already an art gallery: well before the Gallery’s official opening, the attic space on the third floor was used to present exhibits.

Programming

Working mostly with contemporary art, the Art Gallery actively participates in developing Québec and Canadian modern art by both recognizing established artists and encouraging up-and-coming artists. Through its cultural mediation programs and educational activities (workshops, lectures, screenings and meetings), the Stewart Hall Art Gallery encourages the community to get involved and helps to make art accessible to everyone.

The Art Gallery hosts about 10 exhibitions every year, displaying the work of professional, local and international artists that explore a variety of themes, approaches and mediums.

For more information on Art Gallery programming, see the Cultural Notes or the event calendar.
