Beaux Désastres/Beautiful Disasters

Beaux Désastres runs from September 5 – October 31, 2015.

Opening reception at Actual Contemporary, Winnipeg is September 4, 2015 at 7PM

Actual Contemporary is pleased to present Beaux Désastres / Beautiful Disasters: a major solo exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by Franco-Manitoban artist Mélanie Rocan. All new works range from small exquisite tableaus rich with colourful floral arrangements to large sinister night sky settings; crows slick with thick layers of paint. Rocan’s newest sculptures are colourful extensions of her paintings. These three-dimensional explorations linger between darkness and playfulness.
