Daytime Exhibition Tour: Sascha Braunig

Access

About

Join us for a daytime tour of our Fall exhibition Sascha Braunig: Lay Figure, led by Associate Curator & Registrar Theresa Wang.

Sascha Braunig's paintings and drawings are exercises in colour, form, and illusion. In this exhibition, which stretches over both Oakville Galleries sites, the Canada-born, the US-based artist brings together new and recent works that are based on the compositional motif of figures engaged in conflict with a dress-like structure. These works use material qualities to analogize an immaterial idea: the feeling of struggling with a system more powerful than you, in which you are also deeply entangled.

A recent New York City exhibition of Braunig’s work received significant media attention and acclaim. Featuring loans from private collections across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Braunig’s exhibition at Oakville Galleries presents a highly evocative suite of works that demonstrate Braunig’s singular vision and talent.
