Artist Statement:
This exhibition, “81” is a culmination of years of exploration in my artistic journey, where I delve into the interplay between life experiences and art. My work serves as a canvas for expressing sentiments, emotions, and vulnerability, transforming personal narratives into
visual language.
The title “81” symbolizes not only my age but also a metaphorical exploration of direction in my painting practice. Each piece reflects intimate relationships and emotional struggles, alongside a spiritual quest to create entities and auras that connect with viewers on a profound level.
Through this collection, I invite you to engage with the layers of experience that shape our lives, fostering a shared dialogue that transcends words. Join me in this exploration of art as a means of understanding our shared humanity.
Exhibition Dates: October 13 – November 3, 2024
“Gilles Morin’s paintings and drawings on canvas push universal emotional buttons. One’s visual sensibilities are soothed by pleasant splashes of colour; contemplative strings are tugged at the back of
the subconscious; anxiety and even shock responses are stirred up. From one canvas to another, each of these feelings are evoked in succession, and several key pieces draw simultaneously on all.”
