Yoakim Bélanger is a specialist in working with recycled metal. He likes to draw inspiration from the rust that settles on his pieces over the course of the months,” Sylvain Landry tells us. Known for his dramatic, theatrical colours, he proposed for this exhibition four works in another style, seeming to come directly from Antiquity. «These are human forms represented on metal, which appear to have come out of the earth with the rust visible. The gallery being presented as a room emerging from the darkness, appropriate lighting directed toward the rust could make this spectacular.»
