Ingenuity, virtuosity and refinement define the fabulous world of multi-disciplinary artist Shary Boyle. With extraordinary versatility, the Toronto artist engages in drawing, painting, sculpture, audio-visual performance and installations to explore human psychological and emotional states through a fictional fantasy. At once feminist, dream-like and poetic, but always charged with disturbing emotion and expressive candour, her works generate daring and original perspectives on the present. This major publication features all new works, many created especially for Boyle's first solo museum exhibition, touring nationally throughout 2011. Three original essays and dozens of color plates showcase the remarkable talent of this upcoming artist. Published with the assistance of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
