- Exposition: "Nature inconnue"
  Musée de la Gaspésie
  June 11 - October 3
  Location:
  Musée de la Gaspésie, 80, boul. Gaspé, Gaspé.
  
  Information: Cet été, votre musée régional propose Nature inconnue de l’artiste Gil Pître, une exposition où les liens de l’humanité à son territoire ouvrent les portes à diverses pistes de discussions, de réflexions et d’expressions. La nature et le paysage ont été étroitement associés à des préoccupations qui reflètent ce rapport entre l’Homme et son environnement. L’articulation des réflexions de l’artiste sur « la condition humaine » et « l’identité géographique » a servi d’assise au développement d’une pensée picturale, laquelle trouve son expression plastique à travers la peinture, le dessin, l’occupation de l’espace par la couleur, la couleur dans l’environnement, au sens élargi de leurs applications, et plus récemment le numérique.
  
  L’exposition rassemble seize œuvres réalisées entre 1989 et 2010 représentatives des cinq périodes correspondant aux principales étapes du parcours artistique de Gil Pître. Ces œuvres témoignent de plus de vingt années de recherche et de création sur le paysage et l’identité géographique. Regroupées sous les thèmes Parcours et Œuvre et réparties en deux salles, elles permettent de suivre le cheminement de l’artiste et sa recherche sur les rapports entre la nature, l’environnement, le paysage et l’Homme. Le visiteur découvrira au fil des tableaux la lumière et les couleurs qui créent l’espace, comme la nature et l’environnement créent le paysage, élément central de l’œuvre de Gil Pître.
