The French Cultural Center is pleased to present an exhibition that explores the complex layers of a simple dinner conversation through dynamic textures and unexpected mixed media.
Pascale Lord was inspired by her childhood and especially when her mother was calling her to the dinner table. Dinner time is a time for sharing about different topics of discussion from simple gossip to news, politics, history etc.
The paintings in the exhibition A Table! relate to these moments. The dinner table and food become metaphors on the nature of communication between people. Different applications of paint are important to Pascale Lord’s process and relate to the various personalities and reactions of dinner guests. Manipulating the surface texture brings about a distortion to the image. What was once there is now gone, destroyed. Rips and holes appear in the surface revealing what is hidden behind the façade, not being said. Mirrors allow the viewer to contribute, in their own way to the discussion.
The exhibition is free and open to the public from March 4 to March 30.
There will be a free opening reception with complementary French wine on Wednesday, March 4 from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM.
