IKG Presents:
NUMA: NEW PAINTINGS

Opening reception: Wednesday, June 24th, 6-8pm
Dates: June 24th-September 19th, 2009  
Venue: Illingworth Kerr Gallery (1407 14 Avenue NW)
 
This Montreal-based artist is influenced by the decorative friezes found at Pompeii, the op art album covers of metal bands and the graphic mazes of M.C. Escher. Numa constructs a site-specific painting installation using a labour-intensive process that will subtly alter both the white cube of the gallery and the consciousness of the viewer. Visually pulsating, these highly experiential paintings verge on an interactive quality, asking viewers to second guess the transparency of the artist’s style and working process.

NUMA has participated in exhibitions at Galerie René Blouin, Montréal, the 2007 Biennale de Montréal: Crack the Sky and other visual art and music projects.
