Shary Boyle

Galerie de l'Uqam, Montreal

curated by Louise Déry

The Galerie de l'UQAM will inaugurate the exhibition Shary Boyle: Flesh and Blood from January 6, 2011. Recipient of the 2010 Hnatyshyn Foundation, Shary Boyle is considered one of the most fascinating artists of today’s Canadian art scene. The project, produced and circulated by the Galerie de l'UQAM, was first unveiled at the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) in fall 2010. After the Galerie de l'UQAM, the exhibition will be on view at the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver from June 17, 2011. The project is curated by Louise Déry.

Shary Boyle’s practice is multi-disciplinary: she draws, sculpts, paints and creates installations as well as audiovisual performances to explore the range of human psychological and emotional states through fantasy fictions. She does it from a position that is at once feminist, oneiric and poetic. Always charged with troubled emotions and expressive candour, her works refashion the archetypes of ancient myths, children’s literature and figurative convention to renew the potential of their meaning. Shary Boyle: Flesh and Blood is the first major solo exhibition of the artist ever shown in Canada. It includes over 30 works realized since 2006, most of them never exhibited before.

The catalogue
A 200-page bilingual publication accompanies the exhibition and brings together a varied corpus of works created since 2002. Text and images reveal the fantasy world of Shary Boyle. Richly illustrated, the catalogue includes an essay by the curator Louise Déry with additional texts of James Bewley and Michelle Jacques. PUBLIC ACTIVITIES
