Guest artists

July 4 to 6

Joce Texier

I'm inspired by a flamboyant daily life that allows me to bring life to everything around me.

I externalize my imaginary part, which classifies my work between figurative and abstract, expressed under the generous impulse of my knives.

LO

His boats - whether in harbor, at sea or in the heat of the moment like a regatta, always inspire a captivating majesty that leaves the viewer dreaming, because LO's talent lies in transforming narrative into sensation.

Marthe Ouellette

Marthe, an artist firmly established in the Eastern Townships, enriched her career by studying at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, eventually specializing in Landscape Architecture.

A lifelong art enthusiast, she has dedicated all her energy to painting, and has come to realize her full potential in this art form.

Sophie Lambert

A universe built from abstract impulses, pieces of dreams reflected in color, movement, light and transparency.

17 h - Guillermo Saldana

Guillermo Saldana, will be at Quai Paquet on Friday from 17 h to 20 h in a duo format with his percussionist drummer Stéphane Roy for their show Saldana & King.

A passionate audience player, Guillermo Saldana's warm rhythms and bold fusions express the true meaning of celebration and life through his music.

A melodist and singer of all extremes, the Argentinian singer fell in love with his first guitar at the age of four and hasn't left it since. Born into a family of passionate musicians, he has explored the main avenues of his musical identity without limits. His signature: he moves from one musical style to another with disconcerting ease, making the world dance.

With over 10,000 shows with his group Saldana, he sparked a Latin wave that swept through Quebec City.
