McBride Contemporain

Hidden in Plain Sight

Yves Tessier

13 March - 19 April 2025

McBride Contemporain is proud to present Hidden in Plain Sight, Yves Tessier's second solo exhibition at the gallery. In this new body of work, Tessier uncovers the subtle beauty and hidden complexity of everyday scenes and still life compositions. Renowned for his mastery of casein paint, he creates these works on aluminium or wood panels, a technique that requires an in-depth knowledge of pigments and gives each work a unique brilliance and luminosity.

Established in 2018, McBride Contemporain is a Montreal-based contemporary art gallery committed to the presentation and promotion of artworks created by a selection of the country’s best living artists. By creating a bridge that connects artists, museums, collectors, and the wider public, the gallery takes pride in nurturing enduring collaborations with both art experts and enthusiasts alike, both within the vibrant Quebec art scene and beyond. McBride Contemporain is located on the fourth floor of the Belgo Building, where it is proud to contribute to a vibrant and thriving artistic community within Canada's largest concentration of contemporary art galleries.
