About Cross/Cultural Now#3

This wholly unique contemporary graphic painting and complimentary wall sculpture is by Yvonne Lammerich. The Canadian artist has acquired an international reputation for her inspired and thought-provoking modern artwork that often includes historical and architectural elements. Here, a series of shapes in a curated pattern are rendered in a bright colour palette of blues, gray, lime green, yellow, and melon against a bright white background. The visual narrative continues with two sculptural wood shapes painted in bright white that sit beside the painting and mirror its form.
One of a series.

“I see my work as defining my painting practice as a means of echoing our contemporary condition of life, while at times engaging historical references to bring the point home.” Yvonne Lammerich
