The Queen of Mirth represents the mother of all things creative, bearing an interdisciplinary exhibition based on the new romantic notion that art should be entertaining and challenging, and that which is amusing has as much potential to effect change as that which is political. From the viewpoint of two young children – a twin boy and girl – the gallery transforms into a kind of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ surrealism.
Troy Dugas is renowned for his meticulously created mandala-like compositions from shredded labels, as well as more recent works incorporating additional media to form portraits and compelling still life compositions.

“Entangled” is Brian Guidry’s first exhibition with the gallery and features three large-scale paintings with reoccurring themes of technology and the manipulation of nature.

Crossing is Ralph Bourque’s first exhibition with the gallery and includes four large-scale ink drawings on paper. The meticulous landscape chronicles represent the passing of a day – loosely referencing dawn, noon, dusk and midnight, which the artist likens to the cycle of artistic creation.
