Catherine Bolduc is a Montreal artist who creates work which conveys the fantastic and marvellous world of childhood, re-interpreting it in many ways: through drawing, sculpture, installation and video. For the past several years, she has been re-directing the viewer’s gaze by blinding it with light and plunging it into a world of illusions, or by dazing it. Through these varied visual strategies, Bolduc invites viewers to take part in the pleasure of dreams and a lack of restraint, in the joy of anticipation, in experiencing strangeness. The exhibition Monts et merveilles, organised by the curator Geneviève Goyer-Ouimette, is an enormous installation bringing together work from the past ten years, through which the visitor is invited to penetrate the artist’s personal and singular world.
