Eleanor Bond:Mountain of Shame This exhibition premieres a remarkable new body of work by distinguished Winnipeg artist Eleanor Bond. The paintings and sculptures in “Mountain of Shame” offer re ections on the enigmas and complexities of existence through the im materiality of painting. Full of rich and lurid colours, these works evoke the fantastical, while still referencing familiar built and natural worlds. One monumental-scaled painting is a collage of mutating forms and energies that calls to mind diverse phenomena: brain activity, electronic data, biomorphic forces, bodily interiors and weather events. The psycho- spatial elds of these works suggest a type of cognitive mapping of indeterminate places and situations. They are of nowhere and everywhere at the same time, even if titled as speci c locations. Moving away from the journalistic content of earlier images, here ideas about the unknowable are generated through a synaesthetic experience. Bond exploits the materiality of paint using techniques ranging from protruding accretions to atmospheric transparencies in a way that emphasizes the phenomenology of apprehension. As responses to an often catastrophic and over-stimulated world, her works can be seen as projections of the processes of making sense of such conditions. The scope of works in this exhibition, from a spatially baroque spectacle to quiet interiors and a diminutive “Mountain of Shame,” substantiate the range and depth of Eleanor Bond’s inquiries.
