Artist News & Events

The Galerie C.O.A is delighted to present the first solo exhibit of emerging artist Josiane Lanthier. This exhibit spotlights her singular vision, that of a play on color, texture, luminosity, and overlapping layers, which allows her to manipulate one’s perception and to give her work another dimension.

Alejandro Carpintero is a Spanish painter represented by the Galerie C.O.A since 2016. A multidisciplinary artist with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Madrid, he has received a scholarship from the Leed Metropolitan University of Art (Yorkshire, UK) before exhibiting his work in several prestigious institutions around the world, such as the Hoki Museum in Japan (Tokyo), and the MEAM (Barcelona), among others.

In 2020, Galerie C.O.A sets aside the established frameworks and opens its doors to the marginal art of the outsiders. At a time when outsider art is invading the most emblematic museums, and in reaction to a society where the image is systematically standardized, the floor is given to singular artists. Six of them take over the gallery walls – including four with intellectual disabilities – from Quebec, France, Belgium, Denmark and the United States.

Galerie C.O.A is proud to showcase the latest body of work by Icy and Sot from November 21, 2019 to January 18, 2020. Born in Tabriz, Iran, Icy (1985) and Sot (1991) currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. The inseparable brothers began their careers in 2006 with the use of stencils.

Sylvain Bouthillette, born in 1963, lives and works in Montreal. A multidisciplinary artist, his work balances between music, dance, installation, sculpture, painting and photography. Whatever the medium, his works tend to demonstrate that ridicule, impermanence, confusion, instability ambiguity, uncertainty, and embarrassment are all forms of liberation if we stop believing that life is something stable and definable...

From October 17th to November 9th, 2019, Galerie C.O.A will be presenting the works of Zoltan Veevaete, a canadian artist.

After presenting "Urban Inertia" in 2015 at Galerie C.O.A and at the same time making Montreal his playground by displaying his works throughout the city, Isaac Cordal returns for a new solo exhibition entitled "Ego Monuments". 

MissMe : Selfies!

Brand new original works by MissMe will be available on Thursday 22th, 12:00 (noon) NYC time on our website.

From now on until August 31th, we’ll be presenting a few never before shown works by some of our represented artists : Hélène Cenedese, Alexandra Levasseur, Éric Nado, and Andrea Pace, an artist-sculptor whom we are now pleased to represent too.

Galerie C.O.A is proud to celebrate Eric Godin’s 35-year career with a solo show. Godin’s work never stops evolving while delivering a steady deeply touching signature, whichever art he chooses to explore as an editorial cartoonist, painter, sculptor, writer or illustrator.

From October 25th to November 17th, 2018, we'll be presenting a group show where all the featured artists, through different mediums and ideals, express a common desire to change perceptions, morals or any established fact.

Eric Nado lives and works in Montreal. For 20 years, he has collected, deconstructed and reassembled industrial objects in series. Each of the resulting sculptures is a true technical exploration. His concern for skills and performance always comes with a common thread to the artist’s work: the storytelling of our collective past through the creation of evocative works.

Curated by two women, the exhibition "Crafty Cunts" is a meeting between fine art and craft, crossing historical and contemporary imagery.
