Lundquist, born in Minneapolis, created his digital image series to illustrate the adventures of a mythical troupe of singing fish from Montreal. The full series, which features 48 pieces, depicts agents, accountants, animal performers and assistants that work for the fish. A brief synopsis precedes the four parts of “Poissons de Chant”: the introduction of the troupe of singing fish, the troupe of singing fish breaking up and everyone involved having to find new jobs, life just goes on and on when you’re a poisson (singing fish), and finally, life takes strange turns. There is not a full narrative that goes along with the illustrations. Lundquist said that he just really enjoys making the pictures, therefore leaving the story up to the viewer’s imagination.

“Poissons de Chant” is free, open to everyone and will be showing at the gallery through Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. For more information about Lundquist and his work visit http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/tomlundquist or call Ext. 1652.
