The Group of Seven Remixed
A friend sends along these amusing revision of famous Group of Seven paintings:
The exhibition is a telling 21st-century comment on Canadian identity; the artists mess with the Group’s nature/culture divide, subvert its rugged, manly virtues with feminist comment and give some multicultural dimensions to its predominantly beef-eating British-Canadian outlook.
Sadly, the works were auctioned off on October 27 by Winnipeg’s PLUG IN ICA, so there’s no picking up “Jack Pine with Approaching Sasquatch”.
