Ed Pien Luminous vines 2008
Since it opened on Montreal’s rue Ste-Catherine in 2001, Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain has built a national reputation with its contemporary programming of Quebec artists such as Jérôme Fortin, Alexandre Castonguay, Isabelle Hayeur, Adad Hannah and Dil Hildebrand. In recent years, Ouellette has made bold moves to bring his gallery artists to international attention at the art fairs that have blossomed on the European and North American scenes.
On the eve of a trip to Toronto for the July 15 Drake Hotel Salon where he will talk about his gallery artists in connection with a summer-long installation of their work at the hotel, Canadian Art editor Richard Rhodes asked Ouellette about his art fair experience in general and the success of artist Ed Pien in particular.
