Delving deep into their imagination, the artists of "Imaginarium" present us with innovative portraits conjured from pictures in their mind's eye.
"Imagination is the eye of the soul." - Joseph Jouber
Featured artists: Joseph Kowalczyk, Erika Meriaux & Paul Morin
"IMAGINARIUM" ARTISTS STATEMENTS:
Joseph Kowalczyk - "Much of my sculpture explores aspects of the human shadow; those which we deem improper, primitive and ultimately 'unfit' for modern society. My work attempts to highlight these aspects and put them in the physical world; to give them a face and a set of eyes, so we can confront and better understand them."
Erika Meriaux - "Mythology encompasses so many subjects that it gratifies my curiosity and eclecticism. It evokes a panoply of topics, including love, sex, violence, greed, jealousy, beauty, ugliness, nature - in other words, everything! All the details of human nature and the human condition are enclosed in its stories, it gives artists the opportunity to explore a large field of subjects while at the same time enabling them to keep their focus on a unique body of work."
Paul Morin - "In my portraits and figures, I invite a dialog between the painting and the viewer that I hope will awaken a response as individual as each person viewing the canvas."
