EXHIBITIONS
Each year, Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver is proud to present five exhibitions of the works of talented francophone and francophile artists from British Columbia, and sometimes from other provinces. These exhibitions give sculptors, painters, photographers and multidisciplinary artists the opportunity to showcase their work professionally in the library of Le Centre for 1-2 months.
Each exhibition opens with a public wine and cheese reception, free of charge, where visitors can meet and talk to the artist.
Current exhibitions can be visited during the regular opening hours at Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver.

Terre Natale: Motherland
This series draws on the pastoral beauty of the French countryside, where history and identity are deeply rooted in the land. Beyond France itself, each landscape becomes a mirror for memory, stirring nostalgia for summer days remembered or not yet lived. Motherland speaks to a universal longing — an ache for one’s own place of origin, belonging, and then to return….
LORI BAGNÉRÈS
Mixed Media Artist
Lori Bagnérès' art seems to be deeply rooted in capturing the essence of landscape, evoking both visual and emotional responses from the viewer. Her use of mixed media techniques adds layers of texture and depth to her work, inviting the audience to not only see her landscapes but to feel them as well. Bagnérès' decade-long focus on trees as a subject matter reflects her deep exploration of life's complexities. Through the diverse shapes and forms of trees, she seeks to draw parallels to the human experience, conveying themes of individuality, resilience, and the nurturing essence of motherhood. By using these trees as a metaphor, she invites viewers to contemplate the cyclical nature of life and find personal connections within her art.
Lori lives and works in North Vancouver and completed her MFA from École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Grenoble, France. Her works can be found in public and private collections across Canada, the US, Europe and Australia and represented in private galleries in BC and Alberta.
