André Dubois

Born in Québec City in 1963, André Dubois uses everyday materials as ingredients that trigger his inspiration. His past career in graphic design and advertising brings a special light to his work, questioning the consumer society, in a poetic and particularly playful approach. For more than fifteen years, André Dubois’ work has been exhibited in several galleries and museums, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée de la civilisation of Quebec, the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, the Nancy Margolis Gallery of New York and the Gallery Art Mûr.

Artwork description

Les ombres claires (Light Shadows) is a permanent legacy of the City of Pointe-Claire, marking the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. The five totemic shapes are perforated with icons inspired by the specific territorial aspects of our region: silhouettes of plants, fish and birds, the blades of the windmill, and the railway create a play of shadows on the ground resulting from changes in natural light.
