Allison Katz: Jeu d’esprit

Born in Montreal, Allison Katz is one of the most exciting painters of her generation. For her first institutional solo exhibition in Quebec, she brings together major recent works with entirely new paintings in an exhibition design that she conceived specifically for the MMFA. Drawing on sources from across psychoanalytic theory, popular culture and art history, Katz has developed a unique visual vocabulary that explores questions of identity and expression, selfhood and the human psyche.
