MARIE LANNOO: the architecture of colour
curator, Leah Taylor exhibition essay by Sky Goodden
OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 AT 7:00PM
the architecture of colour is a survey exhibition of recent work by Saskatoon artist Marie Lannoo. Her practice explores colour and light by employing conceptual research and scientific methods of experimentation. Realized through painting and sculptural installation, Lannoo challenges how we view and negotiate colour in our everyday lives, highlighting the complexity, illusion, magic and beauty found within colour experiences. Influenced by the history of abstraction and modernism, Lannoo has developed a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic in response to her immediate prairie environment.
Lannoo studied at York University, the University of Saskatchewan, Banff Centre for the Arts, and attended Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops. Her work has been collected and exhibited nationally and internationally since 1980. Lannoo is founder and curator of 330g, an independent project and studio space located in Saskatoon.
