Imagined by artist Brigitte Toutant, this ambitious piece blends abstract patterns, light, and transparency to offer a unique sensory experience. With the collaboration of our team, the artist brought her vision to life through the use of Optical Clear vinyl film, transforming a functional space into a vibrant and poetic environment. Visible from both inside and outside the building, the artwork enhances the school setting and demonstrates how art can enrich public spaces in innovative and lasting ways.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW262485349 BCX8\" data-ccp-props='{\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/header>\n<section id=\"block_ec461bd9412f6132efb7861db545208b\" class=\"page-block page-block-gallery progressive-fade-in page-block-margin-standard page-block-bg-none\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"page-block-inner content-width\">\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-inner\"><ul class=\"the-gallery lightbox-gallery\" data-gallery-el-class=\"gallery-block_ec461bd9412f6132efb7861db545208b-lightbox-gallery-el\">\n<li class=\"gallery-el\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/reflecteur.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/brigitte-toutant-installation-vitrine-1017x1400.jpg\" data-title=\"Brigitte Toutant installation vitrine\" class=\"lightbox-gallery-el wrap-fit-image gallery-block_ec461bd9412f6132efb7861db545208b-lightbox-gallery-el\">\n<img data-src-small=\"https:\/\/reflecteur.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/brigitte-toutant-installation-vitrine-350x350.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" data-src-medium=\"https:\/\/reflecteur.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/brigitte-toutant-installation-vitrine-750x750.jpg\" data-width-medium=\"750\" data-height-medium=\"750\" data-src-large=\"https:\/\/reflecteur.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/brigitte-toutant-installation-vitrine-1200x1200.jpg\" data-width-large=\"1200\" data-height-large=\"1200\" data-src-xlarge=\"https:\/\/reflecteur.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/brigitte-toutant-installation-vitrine-1200x1200.jpg\" data-width-xlarge=\"1200\" data-height-xlarge=\"1200\" class=\"the-block-image img-check fit-image lazy rounded portrait\" alt=\"\"><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_c2e218095968068c1ffded0f2376385c\" class=\"page-block page-block-simple-text progressive-fade-in page-block-margin-standard page-block-bg-none title-position-left\">\n\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"bg-vecto-img bg-vecto-img-none\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"page-block-inner content-width\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"page-block-title title-2 progressive-fade-in-element progressive-fade-in-element-1\">Architectural Art Integration <\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-block-text wysiwyg progressive-fade-in-element progressive-fade-in-element-2\"><p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sublimation bor\u00e9ale<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, designed by Brigitte Toutant for the Commission scolaire de l\u2019Or-et-des-Bois, embodies the harmonious union of art and architecture. Inspired by northern landscapes, the artwork visually expresses the beauty of the boreal environment through abstract shapes and luminous colors. The artist\u2019s intention was clear: to create a visual focal point that integrates seamlessly with the architectural space while offering a dynamic and evolving visual experience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the key challenges was designing an installation that could be viewed from both inside and outside the building without obstructing natural light. To address this, our team proposed using Optical Clear adhesive film, a transparent material that enables high-precision digital printing while preserving ambient light. This technical choice allowed the artist to fully express her vision without compromising the spatial quality of the environment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Installed in the school\u2019s stairwell, the artwork spans an impressive 248\u201d x 354\u201d. Its monumental scale immerses the viewer while respecting the proportions of the space. The film is also treated with a UV-protective coating, ensuring long-term color retention and resistance to sunlight, an essential factor in such a bright location.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The light reflections cast by the piece onto the white walls create a changing atmosphere, where natural light becomes an integral part of the installation. Depending on the time of day and viewing angle, the patterns come to life and alter one\u2019s perception of the space. This subtle interaction between the artwork, the environment, and the public results in a renewed experience with every passage.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sublimation bor\u00e9ale<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is much more than decorative art, it is a deep reflection on the role of art in public space. Staying true to her artistic approach blending abstraction and nature, Brigitte Toutant offers a contemplative piece that invites wonder and introspection. By transforming a transitional area into a space for reflection, she redefines the relationship between users and their surroundings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This collaboration with Reflecteur highlights the impact of thoughtfully integrated art.
