A legendary figure in Gaspesian folk art, Léonard Lapierre – Léo to his friends, was born in Gaspé. Inspired by his immediate environment, he carved his first wooden object at the age of 16. This was followed by hundreds of creations. Exploring various mediums, his creations include musical instruments that he used to play a traditional repertoire in his own, unique way.

Dans le cadre des Rencontres de la photographie en Gaspésie, le Musée de la Gaspésie présente l’exposition Heureux hasard de la photographe française, Dolorès Marat.

With Péninsule, the artist is interested in climate change and its effects on the coastline of the Gaspé and the Lower St. Lawrence. This speculative documentary project is composed, among other things, of about thirty photographs where the artist, equipped with a laser level, travelled through the territory, initially trying to mark the landscape to see where the water will pass when the temperature increases by 2 to 4 degrees.
