Jaime Angelopoulos Exhibition at McMaster
December 11, 2018
Jaime Angelopoulos: Oblique Choreography
Curator: Ivan Jurakic
McMaster Museum of Art, Sherman Gallery
January 17 – March 16, 2019
OPENING RECEPTION
Thursday, January 17, 6 – 8 pm
Known for her spirited explorations of form and colour, Jaime Angelopoulos’ sculptures and drawings share a complementary yet complicated relationship. On the surface, the artist wrestles with aspects of abstraction and anthropomorphism, and the works exhibit a kind of joyful exuberance, but they also operate on a deeper social and psychological level.
The sculptures are paired and grouped alongside their two-dimensional siblings. The drawings, composed of bold intersecting lines, undulating arcs, and bursts of colour, complement the sculptures yet maintain their own commanding graphic presence. The ongoing push-pull between the magnetically dense works on paper and emaciated armatures injects a necessary tension between the two- and three-dimensional works, and their relationship to the wall, the floor, and the space in between.
