Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, Terre de Passions

Featuring Grégory Pol

AX Gallery | 12 Maple Ave.
September 4 – October 17
Launch: September 4 | 630pm

Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, terre de passions features photographs by Grégory Pol that offer a rare glimpse into the remarkable French archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. While the islands are often associated with their historic fishing traditions, they remain largely unknown to those beyond the region, visited primarily by a fortunate few who have discovered their unique beauty and character.

Driven by a deep affection for the islands, Pol’s photographs invite viewers on an intimate journey through landscapes shaped by wind, sea, and weather. The exhibition reveals Saint-Pierre emerging from the mist with its frozen mooring ropes, the rich wildlife of Miquelon inspiring stories and imagination, and the dramatic beauty of Langlade, where snowstorms transform the landscape into something both mysterious and breathtaking.

Through these evocative images, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, terre de passions captures the spirit, resilience, and wonder of an extraordinary place, offering audiences an opportunity to experience the archipelago through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it deeply.

About the Artist

Grégory Pol is a French photographer who loves open, wild spaces that reveal their beauty only to those who know how to recognize it. Author of several photography books (including Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, terre de passions – Vilo éditions), Grégory is a renowned photographer in Europe and Asia. He has won several prestigious awards, such as the gold medal at the Salon des Beaux-Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Some of his iconic works have been exhibited around the world in specialized art galleries.

An adventurous photographer, one of his goals is to showcase France’s overseas territories. He never forgets the people who live there, the rich fauna of these territories, and the great responsibility that France has towards them.

A former navigator and diver in the French Navy, he settled for three years in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a little-known archipelago near Newfoundland and so far from France. Having fallen in love with this French territory in North America, he returns there whenever he can.
