Description:
Susan Dobson, Temporary Architectures, presents two bodies of work by this Toronto-based artist in the Main Gallery. Retail presents large mural images of big-box stores, marooned in parking-lot wastelands, with the façade of each store greyed out.The resulting void reflects the spiritual emptiness of our built environment, furnished with a transient architecture that is both dull and monolithic. Paint Palettes repeats animage of the same garage door, each identical except for colour and presented together as giant paint samples. The Heritage Collection,The Romance Collection,The Gothic Collection, etc, present ordinary household colours with their exotic paint names.
