In the exhibition Couleurs passagères, the Centre d’exposition Yvonne L. Bombardier showcases the work of two unique artists – Hua Jin and Nadia Loria Legris. Each in her own particular way, manipulates the colours of nature to create sensitive, evocative works. Hua Jin documents the relationship between the passage of time and colour, capturing fleeting, beautiful moments with stills and moving images. For her part, Nadia Loria Legris gives us an entirely different view of the organic matter that we discard every day. She extracts inks from the greenery that grows around every urban landscape and uses them to paint expressive, striking works of art. Legris also creates installation art with bits and pieces of organic waste.
From May 5 to September 2, 2024
Born in China, artist Hua Jin now lives in Montreal. Through her photographs and videos, Hua Jin documents the changes in the rhythm and cycles of the natural world over the passage of time. In the exhibition Flow, Hua Jin invites the viewer to absorb the changing textures and colors of nature. Her refined images depict fleeting moments which, through Jin’s lens, become fixed at a certain moment in time. A photography installation in the windows was generated by artificial intelligence (AI) – compositions (somewhere between real and fake), inspired by the artist’s photographs.

Artist Nadia Loria Legris is originally from Montreal but she now lives in Sherbrooke. Through her photographs, sculptures, sketches, digital techniques and relational practises, she examines our relationship with other life forms and the environment. Vert pomme, jaune citron, rose sureau is a collection of still lifes showing how the passage of time causes organic matter to decay. The artwork displayed by Legris in this exhibition explores the artistic potential of organic materials but it also invites the viewer to reflect on how our modern lifestyles affect the environment.
