Visual Arts instructor Lorène Bourgeois new exhibition - Poil, plume, peau - will be showing at loop Gallery in Toronto from August 16 to September 7, 2014 Opening Reception: Saturday, August 16, 2 - 5 pm Closing Reception: Thursday, September 4, 6 - 9 pm Poil, plume, peau is an exhibition of large drawings by Lorène Bourgeois exploring the hair, feathers, skin, and clothes of humans and animals. ...Strange as they may be, there are connections between clothing and animals, and between states of dress and nakedness. The garments I observe are inanimate and yet allude to the vulnerability of humans. And animals - a group we define as other - yet also belong to - remind us of the immediacy of life and its fleeting nature. In my work I am hoping to articulate the existential quality inherent to both subjects while celebrating their singularities.
