Oakville Galleries is thrilled to announce a solo exhibition by Sascha Braunig. Opening 2 October, Lay Figure presents paintings and drawings that are exercises in colour, form, and illusion.
In this exhibition, which stretches over both Oakville Galleries sites, the Canada-born, 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.
