ABERRATIONS, une exposition collective inaugurale à Z Art Space, regroupe quatre artistes interdisciplinaires provenant de trois régions distinctes du pays: Québec, Ontario et Colombie-Britannique. Suite à 16 mois d’attention dédiée uniquement aux expositions individuelles, ZAS se tourne cette fois-ci vers une intersection de voix artistiques multiples, pour aborder des épisodes courantes de la vie humaine, tantôt sensorielles, tantôt éphémères, situées entre l’existence et le dépouillement.
Artists have long immortalized the beauty of nature in large-scale paintings of scenes that highlight its sublime power and influence over human existence. Searching for distortions of these traditional artistic renderings of the natural world, ABERRATIONS seeks to locate underlying, deviated sources of beauty within the subtle processes of physical, natural, and psychological decay.
ABERRATIONS brings together the work of four emerging Canadian artists: Nathalie Grice (Ottawa), Kate Puxley (Montreal), Sarah-Tue Fee (Montreal), and Vanessa Krystin Wong (Vancouver). Working with a variety of different media, such as painting, mixed media sculpture, and taxidermy, these artists engage with themes of death and destruction, artifice, and the fragility of human and animal life. The works included in this exhibition respond to prevalent conventions of the genre of landscape painting as they unearth fascinations with the unnerving elements of strange or unusual scenes found in nature. Producing a space in which to engage with these dissident elements of the natural world, the works moreover reveal nature’s ability to simultaneously enthrall and repulse.
