MONTREAL - s4story -- International contemporary artist Françoise Issaly – known for her abstract works and rare approach to traditional "series" and "collections" – will be exhibiting pieces in Quebec and Zhejiang starting Sat. 9/16.

Canada: Françoise's will be 1 of 20 featured immigrant artists that enriched Quebec's cultural landscape for The Centre d'accueil et de Référence sociale et économique pour Immigrants celebrating 20 years of artistic twinning, an initiative allows artists to live and experience their first exhibition in Quebec. The Centre des loisirs de Saint-Laurent show will be Sat. 9/16 – Sun. 10/1 with reception on Wed. 9/21 and local dignitaries in attendance.

"I am happy to be one of the artists celebrating the 20^th anniversary of Le Cari, whose support is primordial for the new artists immigrating to Montreal, as well as any newcomer. I will be showing nine of my most recent collages from my latest series, where I explore the relationship between my childhood memories and my life as a nomad." said Françoise Issaly. "I first exhibited with Le Cari in 2018, both as an established artist and as an immigrant artist. It has been wonderful to recently share my works and experiences with other artists who moved to Québec and look forward to also sharing them with a wider audience through the upcoming exhibit."

China: Françoise will present a solo show. Fusing childhood memories in France with natural elements collected in the streets of Shanghai and Hangzhou,  paintings, collages and photos to be displayed represent over three years of delicate patience, repetition and abstract consistency in collections, rare to her artistic style and definition. Dubbed fittingly "Memories and other vestiges" the exhibition will be Sat. 9/16 – Sun. 10/15 at Alliance Francaise de Hangzhou at Zhejiang Gongshang University, 149 Road Jiaogong , Xihu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang China.

"This new solo exhibition is an opportunity for me to show my latest works from my Athena Series, and my new and never-before-shown digital photography works. I am looking forward to sharing these with people and discussing my creation process," said Françoise Issaly. "This is the second time I have the chance to exhibit at l'Alliance Francaise of Hangzhou, but this time in a solo show. The fact that I am showing my work in this context is personally meaningful – as it draws a thread between my childhood in France, and my present life in China, as a delicate and intricate series of invisible canvas surrounding my life."
