Light on Glass, presented at La Guilde, underlines the importance of the dialogue between light and the medium of glass, as well as the depth of technical knowledge possessed by glass artists. The light beams captured and emitted by glass intensify the colours and textures of the work, making it shine and shimmer. They make the work appear lightweight, profound, sometimes even solid and bring out its opacity. It creates shadows where darkness and light combine. In this exhibition, La Guilde features a selection of works that reflect a wide range of techniques and a beautiful variety of forms.
Light on Glass presents the work of seventeen contemporary Canadian glass artists:
MARIE-HÉLÈNE BEAULIEU, MARYSE CHARTRAND, TAYGAN CRAPO, MARIE PIERRE DAIGLE, SÉBASTIEN DUCHANGE, MONTSERRAT DURAN MUNTADAS, SUSAN EDGERLEY, MICHÈLE LAPOINTE, MEL MUNSEN, CAROLINE OUELLETTE, PATRICK PRIMEAU, JULIA REIMER, TYLER ROCK, DONALD ROBERTSON, SHAY SALEHI, CATHY STROKOWSKY, CHERYL WILSON-SMITH.
