Transparaître

Opening Reception January 24, 2025

Exhibition Dates | January 24 - March 1, 2025

Rosalie Gamache is our first artist collaboration of the year!

Drawing on both the technical and iconographic traditions of painting, Rosalie Gamache's artworks represent translucent bodies with only certain opaque parts realistically painted. The subjects are partially revealed in a dreamlike universe where vulnerability and interdependence express the richness of interpersonal bonds. Along with evoking their own medium in a self-referential manner, these works blur the reading of bodily forms and sexual markers, opening a space for critical reflection on identity.
