France Fauteux exhibition @ Centre Materia

From November 11th to  December 18th 2011, Centre MATERIA will be inhabited by a fantastic  people: « Les Amourois ». Emerging from the imagination of the  experienced ceramist, France Fauteux, these likeable anthropomorphic and  colourful characters become alive in a phantasmagorical story. More  than a fairy tale, this story may be akin to an allegory on happiness.  After having being presented in some exhibition places across the  province of Quebec, among which, Montreal and Baie-St- Paul, this  travelling exhibition will be stopping in Quebec City, where the artist  lives and works. 
“I dreamed of an imaginary country with neither conflict nor war, a place where harmony and happiness reign, a kingdom of beauty, where living things and nature are in balance.”
