Laurent Craste | La chute

Besides the Casket series that we are discovering for the first time in Montréal, the visitors will also be able to admire artwork from the Détournement and Sévices series.

This exhibition marks the artist’s first collaboration with La Guilde, as well as his first solo in Montréal in the last three years.

Recipient of the Jean-Marie Gauvreau Prize in 2016, Craste is well known for his ceramic vases on which brutal interventions distort the objects from their primary functions, utilitarian and ornamental. His esthetic draws on art history, the history of religion and that of France, early and modern, to attain a more universal subject: the human condition.
