Lignes de feu is a collection of works by André Fournelle and Marc Garneau. In this exhibition, these renowned artists, through their unique vision, have incorporated three different materials created by the use of fire – namely ash, coal and glass.

André Fournelle is a multidisciplinary artist renowned for his sculptures, gallery installations and site-specific works. He draws inspiration from a variety of materials, focusing on how when amalgamated with something else, they can be transformed into something entirely different.

For well-known painter and skilled printmaker Marc Garneau, it is the surface of a particular material and how it can be altered, that is the prime object of his fascination. One example is when he uses fire to create a chunk of workable material, on which he engraves various designs, turning it into a veritable work of art.
