Looking for activist artist from Montreal G7 protests

There was a Quebec artist who painted images of police brutality from some summit there, probably a G7 summit in Quebec around a decade ago. They also make other art critical of authority. They had a website, but I lost the link a long time ago.

Below is one of their paintings. I cannot seem to track them down anymore. I've recently seen some similar work in a gallery and I want to see if there is a connection, or if such imagery is organically popping up against the country.

Anybody know the artist? They did go by a pseudonym, of course, which is fine with me.

Need Help Identifying This Local Canadian Artist!

Hi everyone,

I’m in a bit of a bind! My D&D DM, who lives in Canada, challenged me to figure out who created this artwork (attached below), and I only have one week to solve it. The twist is, my DM knows who the artist is but won’t tell me because it’s part of the challenge. We believe the artist is likely local to Canada.

The piece has a dark, mysterious vibe, and I’d love to know who the artist is. If anyone recognizes the style or knows of any Canadian artists who could be behind this, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks so much in advance—I'm on a tight deadline here!

Serge Gouin

I had grabbed this piece at a salvage yard in Florida. I can see it was a piece made by Serge Gouin. It stands around 3 1/2 ft tall maybe taller. It's in excellent condition. I'm not a collector or anything I just grabbed it because it was cool. Could anyone tell me anything about it?

Need Canadian Crocus Art!

Hey there!

My company is opening a new facility in Winnipeg and we are looking for art prints by Canadian artists, preferably painting prints. The theme I am struggling to find art for is the Prairie Crocus room. It appears all the prints have been created by American or British artists that love Manitoba's flower. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Nature's Majesty by Colleen Yuill (my grandma)

Matboard Suppliers on the East Coast

Hi everyone,

Photographer and framer here searching for a matboard supplier on the East Coast (that is, not Ontario) that offers conservation-grade matboard. I've tried Frame101 out of Halifax, but they've stopped offering pricing discounts for bulk orders and have raised their prices on individual sheets of 32x40. I'm also not readily able to travel to Halifax to pick-up orders, so shipping is an additionally large expense.

Do I have any other options, other than Michaels (who, interestingly) can't stock 32x40 sheets and only sell them in 24x36 sizes. Meaning I'm able to get less mats from a single sheet. So, that sucks.

Any East Coast artists have any ideas on where to source conservation-grade boards?

Cheers!

Looking for information about and paintings by Louis St Hilaire (1860 - 1922)

Does anyone know where I can find information about and works by Louis St Hilaire (1860 - 1922)? Almost all I can find on the web is "known for church murals". He's in my family tree and I have two paintings by him, but know almost nothing about his life and work.

Thanks.
