Genevieve Cadieux
The Americas Society, New York
Born in 1956, Cadieux lives and works in Montreal. During the 1990s, Cadieux created a compelling body of photographic works whose subjects are nature, the human body, and relationships between the sexes. She presents each disparate subject in a similar format and with an equally intense emotional tenor, suggesting equivalencies and interrelationships among them.
Born in 1956, Cadieux lives and works in Montreal. During the 1990s, Cadieux created a compelling body of photographic works whose subjects are nature, the human body, and relationships between the sexes. She presents each disparate subject in a similar format and with an equally intense emotional tenor, suggesting equivalencies and interrelationships among them.
Their large scale, sparseness, and often tight, close-up framing give them an emotional weight seemingly out of proportion to what is actually depicted. Geneviève Cadieux will feature several photographs and one sculptural work: "Souffle," 1996, a triptych of delicate blown-glass globes. "Geneviève Cadieux" was organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver. It has also traveled to the Art Gallery of Hamilton in Ontario.
This exhibition was organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver.
