Béchard Hudon spent several months observing, listening to, and exploring the old-growth forests of the Outaouais region of Québec, and this exhibition translates that experience into an immersive artistic encounter with these complex and fragile ecosystems.
The work highlights the unruly character of these forests, where decomposing wood covers the ground and serves as habitat for countless species, forming the vital chain that converts death into new life. The exhibition aims to inspire awe at the extraordinary scale of nature.
An accompanying essay by curator Marie-Hélène Leblanc is forthcoming.
Admission is free. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00–17:00.

Béchard Hudon
Béchard Hudon est l'artiste derrière Forest Monologue, une exposition née de mois passés à observer et explorer les forêts anciennes de la région de l'Outaouais, avec un travail qui réfléchit sur la fragilité écologique, la décomposition et les cycles qui transforment la mort en nouvelle vie.
