Dénouement
Located at the Ateliers du Théâtre de l'Île
Artiste: Sylvain Potvin
The artist-sculptor drew his inspiration from the core function of the building into which his work is integrated, to unveil, like a mystery, the creators of theatre: authors, actors, directors, stage hands, costume makers, scenic artists, lighting technicians and makeup artists, as they emerge from the 38-facet round cube.
Attracted to the hand movements of the actors and a carefully arranged selection of photographs from the Théâtre de l'Île archives, he pays tribute to the actors, whose performance invites the audience to discover key moments in drama or comedy.
Sylvain Potvin is an artist who lives in the Outaouais area, and has been involved in the world of visual arts for more than 30 years. Known for his stone and marble sculptures, he is currently a member of Quebec's Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels (RAAV).
