Karine Thibault: Artist • HOME·[made]

HOME·[made]

Exhibition with artists Irina Skvortsova & Aimee Sawyers
February 11 - March 7, 2006
Union Gallery
(Kingston, ON)

This exhibition seeks to define “home.” From varying perspectives, both personal and social, the artists explore notions of security, discomfort, belonging and rootedness. The exhibition highlights the media of painting and printmaking, and demonstrates how differing media can be used to convey ideas surrounding a similar theme.

In these paintings I explore the notion of “home” as being a feeling; a place defined through human connections and interactions, and not defined by architectural boundaries. The works speak of places I’ve been, both physically and emotionally, and of places where I wish to go. These paintings represent an ongoing search for a place to call home; they tell a story.

Hi there. I'm Karine Thibault, an artist based in Ottawa, Canada. I try to capture the beauty and poetry of the human spirit in my art, done mostly in graphite and oil.
