07/11/2014 Virginie Bocaert: Body and Soul Downtown Free



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1qPhAU7 This latest series of works, Body and Soul, by Virginie Bocaert demonstrates the direct connection of the physical human body and the ephemeral, spiritual nature of our soul. This is done through synthesizing paint on photographs, something that is new for the artist. She uses the female form as a means of expressing the evocative nature of the soul. She has moved on from her previous series which had expressed more distressed and melancholic figures. Now she seeks to express fragility and delicacy. Her latest series, instead, draws attention to the fact that the human body and soul are constantly undergoing change. She reinforces the inseparable nature of the physical and emotional, externalizing the souls and desires of the subjects.
