Gallery Pierre-François Ouellette contemporary art

To reconnect with nature and its representation

Located in the heart of Plateau-Mont-Royal, the Pierre-François Ouellette contemporary art gallery is dedicated to presenting contemporary art that demonstrates critical engagement in all its forms and in all its complexity.

This fall, see Conservatorium, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Dil Hildebrand that examine nature and its representation. Hildebrand appropriated images of greenhouses and botanical gardens, working once again in oil and for the first time in printmaking and applying his characteristic language of trompe-l’oeil and abstraction to give new meaning to these gardens of human intervention.

In the second space of the gallery, discover Monica Tap’s Community Gardens, where the artist uses the landscape to reflect on questions of time and history, technology and memory.
