‘Room for Mystics’
An exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario by Sandra Meigs and Christopher Butterfield.
Scattered around the room are bright coloured, simple paintings that are displayed back to back. Banners with concentric yellow circles hang on the walls. The solid colour boxes beside the paintings hide speakers.
A large red mobile hangs from the ceiling, happiness with closed eyes. Happiness and joy are two of the emotions that this room evokes. Walking through the room is definitely a positive experience! You can’t help but smile.
The paintings and mobile are the work of Sandra Meigs, a Canadian artist based in British Columbia. Accompanying the exhibit is a ‘sound installation’ composed by Christopher Butterfield.
The exhibit continues until 14 January 2018
