Enigma of the Woodpile<\/em>
\nby Simon Hughes
\n38″x58″
\nwatercolour, ink, and collage on paper
\n2014
\nGalerie Division<\/a>, Montreal<\/p>\n

From April 24 to 27, 2014, Montreal’s Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC) presented the 7th<\/sup> edition of its Papier art fair, an annual event dedicated to works on all forms of paper. The fair’s specificity is a way to affirm Montreal’s place in the Canadian contemporary art market.<\/p>\n

This year, 44 leading Canadian galleries participated, from which about half made the trip from outside the city. From among\u00a0this massive amount of art on paper,\u00a0the Kolaj<\/em> editorial staff selected three galleries whose work featured collage: Galerie Division (Montreal), Susan Hobbs Gallery<\/a> (Toronto), and Art M\u00fbr<\/a> (Montreal).<\/p>\n

About Simon Hughes’ Enigma of the Woodpile<\/em>, we wrote:<\/p>\n

Although this work still uses the artist’s signature watercolour and collage pairing, it also marks a rupture with his earlier work. The wood logs that were once used to erect buildings in an utterly organized manner are now roughly placed in a pile or maybe the construction simply collapsed. Scattered through the heap, collaged objects, mostly borrowed from art history and pop culture suggest a reflection about art, its language and the ways to reaffirm its pertinence. Construction or deconstruction?<\/h2>\n
