CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBIT PAINTINGS BY MARIE BOURDAGES
"Introspective: Marie Bourdages" is an inward look at the Acadian born expressionist's art spanning over two decades, from Montreal to NYC and Europe - for the first time in Toronto. Themes of angst and mortality prevail at times as animalist allegory, others in intimate narrative. Eroticism receives a new treatment across genders in nuanced, distorted images.
