Just announced – An evening of film inspired by the paintings and artistry of Angie Quick.  April 20 @ 7pm for BITTER FIGURES, SWEETENED FLESH.

Thursday, April 20, 2023 // 7pm
John Labatt Visual Arts Centre, RM 137E, Western University
Free Admission

Inspired by the creative oeuvre of London, Ontario-based artist Angie Quick, this 16mm program seeks to interpret visual and thematic parallels between the painter’s oils on canvas and the moving images of nine avant-garde filmmakers exploring the photochemical medium.

Through an array of innovative techniques and aesthetics, these works unveil subconscious realities mirroring Quick’s own celebration of the grotesque serenity of bodies melded in motion or the pulsating abstractions of landscapes askew, while wordless expressions conjure peripheral memories of psychodramatic narrative through intensely vulnerable yearnings, impulsive turmoil and intimate revelations obsessively etched in emulsion.

Featuring films by by Carolee Schneemann, Nazli Dinçel, Sarah Pucill, Tom Chomont, Jean Sousa, Chris Chong Chan Fui, Sharon Couzin, Patrick Bokanowski & Amy Halpern.

This screening is made possible by the generous support of McIntosh Gallery in partnership with artLAB at Western University.
