Lévis, Quebec marine terminal transforms unsightly
“intruders in the landscape”
By Lorie Steiner
When the community speaks, big business should listen.
Valero Energy Inc. did, and the result is amazing. On Sept.
23, 2016, two stunning frescoes were unveiled at Valero’s
Jean Gaulin Refinery marine terminal in Lévis, Quebec. But
they aren’t hanging in a grand front lobby, or a gallery hall
outside the corporate suites. These magnificent works of
art (each 15 metres high and 27 metres in diameter) de-
picting a historic vignette of the St. Lawrence River, were
created on a pair of enormous refinery tanks visible from
the bike path bordering that very same river.
