SIDIM 2015 - Art



SIDIM Design Show 2015 
Focus on Art

May 21-23, 2015

This year is the 27th edition of the very popular Montreal's annual Design Show. The space allocated to the Art Gallery in the corner of the exhibition hall appeared even larger this year. The paintings were plentiful and very colourful.



The gallery was well attended by the visitors, who talked to the artists, examined the paintigs and took photos of works they liked.



The exhibited works are made by Quebec and especially local Montreal artists. 


The show promotes the art since design is an artistic endeavour. Also, a large part of the exhibit is devoted to the innovative furniture design. Those who redecorate search not only for new furniture but also for the complementary paintings to enhance the interior atmosphere and comfort, and at times even to create some dramatic effects. So art goes hand in hand with many other exhibits at the show.


There are also some sculptural works on display. The ones in the photo below to the right are not in the space allocated to the art gallery, but are actually sculptures made by Eric Nadeau from old sewing machines.
