The first meeting with artist John Heward takes place in his studio on Murray Street, Montréal on the 8th of December 2017. Painter Stéphane La Rue is present and a conversation starts up around words such as painting, music, abstraction, gesture and life. The words slowly settle in the pristine studio space. On the 6th of November 2018, John Heward firmly closes the door again, leaving a vivid testimony behind.
