Outdoor art in Sutton Village

Huge permanent outdoor paint exhibition unvailed in Sutton


By Nancy Helmuth
Called "Table 4 x 8", eight renowned Suton artists unvailed a new permanent outdoor exhibition on Sunday. Utilising a large empty wall adjoining Sutton's Bistro Beuxlieaux, the group has created eight panels of 4 by 8ft. each and the pieces will be kept there throughout one year, to add color to the center core of the town. The pieces are heavily varnished and their cxreators assured us that even the harsh winter weather will not harm these delicate creations. All the artists have exhibited many times and most are regular members of the Tour des Arts in July. They are Serge Normand, Marek Latzman, Stephane Lemardele,Isabelle Grenier, Brigitte Normandin, Louise-Andre Roberge, Marc Bilodeau and Francois Brisson.

"It is a gift to the town where we work" one of the painters said. "Many people do not visit shows or galleries and this allows us to bring some of our best work to the public. The pieces are not for sale,this is simply a thank-you note to the people of Sutton".
