SANDRA CHEVRIER's debut museum solo exhibit, by Thinkspace on Nov 13, 2018 19:46:37 GMT 1, Thinkspace presents:

Sandra Chevrier | Cages and the Allure of Freedom

The Montréal-based Canadian artist creates work that explore identity as a locus of competing imperatives and complex contradictions. Drawing parallels between the assumed invulnerability of the superhero and the impossible demands placed upon the contemporary individual, Chevrier creates literal and metaphoric masks by combining comic book imagery assembled from found and imagined sources. Her dystopian spin on the iconic figure of the superhero looks to reveal the flaws in the staged extroversion of the superficial veneer.

In Cages and the Allure of Freedom, her first significant solo museum presentation, Chevrier will be showcasing large-scale sculptural works for the first time including three massive portrait based reliefs alongside three life-sized, hand-painted busts complementing some of her largest two-dimensional acrylic on canvas works.

On view through December 30 at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, California.
