Art News - absolutearts.com Syndications http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/12/07/35832.html On Sunday 6 December 2009 the Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square and Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens opened Therese Bolliger : Four Echoes. Perhaps the most curious thing about Toronto artist Therese Bolliger’s work is its ability to hover right at the edge of familiarity. Although highly suggestive, her work explores the essence of form, consistently evoking shapes that lie beyond the world of objects. And while her practice is precisely defined within theoretical frameworks, the resulting sculptures and drawings are never emotionally rigid. Sensual, vulnerable and bold or playful, disturbing and delicate, the combinations are complex and full of contradiction. Her pieces tug at the imagination on a conceptual, physical and psychic level. absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-12-07T04:00:01+05:00 http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/12/07/35833.html The Eugenides Foundation presents the exhibition Utopia, suggesting a companion in the dream, works by the internationally renowned artist Costas Varotsost.
