En Trance: Sandra Meigs

January 24 - February 11, 2017

En Trance is a preview of 15 of the 30 paintings to be exhibited in September 2017 at the Art Gallery of Ontario as part of the Gershon Iskowitz Prize that Sandra Meigs won in 2015. All the paintings were completed during the summer of 2016.

The paintings come from meditations that give entry to unlimited force, energy, love, being and presence. This allows a radical intervention into the practice of painting. The outcome of the intervention is exuberant visual energy coming forth through the work.

 The work utters a call to pay attention, to wake up.  Each canvas permits an unfolding encounter. We can never really know the experiencer. We can only really know the experience. As such the paintings are talismans to elevate the soul, to get the small egoic self out of the way and to allow space for living in the moment.
