The Xylon au carré Project was launched in the fall of 2019. Xylon members were invited to work on a 31.5 cm square format engraving. The twenty-five artists explore this constraint with great freedom of subjects and expressions. The square is thus used as its own subject, as a basis in the composition of the images, or even as a metaphor for the pandemic, both structuring and reassuring or, conversely, a source of confinement.

Du blanc au noir

Xylon-Québec also represents Du blanc au noir, his fourth artist’s book produced in 2011. Presented in loose sheets, the book includes two poems by Claudine Bertrand and twenty-three relief engravings. The prints were done in black, including variations in gray. There too, the theme was free.

Xylon-Québec

Xylon-Québec is an association of professional artists working in wood engraving, which functions as a publisher and broadcaster stimulating research, creation, and promotion of relief printing. In 1985, Xylon-Québec has been recognized as a national branch of Xylon International. Since then, the association has concentrated its activities in the edition of several artists’ books and the organization of numerous group exhibitions. The technique of relief printing involves inking the protruding surface of the matrix, generally with a roller. Nowadays, artists may also use other materials besides wood, like linoleum, Plexiglas, plaster, cardboard, etc.
