The exhibition Pushing Boundaries invites you to discover the striking and poetic universe of professional painter Hélène Goulet. This body of work is presented in collaboration with exhibition curator Norman Cornett, a professor and renowned thinker known for his humanistic and transdisciplinary approach to the arts. The event also features Pierre Jasmin, internationally acclaimed pianist, as honorary president—lending a symbolic and musical resonance to the encounter.

Through a selection of recent works, Hélène Goulet explores the idea of territory—both physical and emotional. Her open horizons, richly layered colors, and evocative compositions reveal a desire to push the limits of traditional pictorial representation. Each painting invites us to see the world differently, through the eyes of an artist for whom painting is both a deeply personal and universally resonant language.

A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Québec and of UQAM in visual arts, Hélène Goulet has made a lasting mark on the Quebec art scene. She notably collaborated with painter Serge Lemoyne in an effort to redefine techniques in printmaking and contemporary painting. Her work has been exhibited in Japan, France, Spain, Monte Carlo, and New York, as well as throughout Quebec and Ontario.

Her paintings, often imbued with introspection and spirituality, find a natural home in Dudswell’s former church. A place of memory and stillness, this heritage building offers a powerful backdrop that amplifies the emotional depth and meditative quality of her work.

Come and experience this immersive exhibition, where each canvas maps a path between reality and imagination.
