Death Metal at the Venice Biennial and the Peoples History at the Galway Arts Centre



Vancouver artist Steven Shearer will be representing Canada at the Venice Biennial this year. He brings his metal influenced, painting based practise to the (somewhat small and coincidently Italian designed) Canadian pavilion. Shearer works with text, sound, found imagery, ball point pens as well as formal painting to create dynamic multi media shows....which I have only ever read about, having never seen any of his rare Canadian exhibitions. Anyway here is a sampling of his work.

Steven Shearer, Swinging Lumpen, 2002


Shearer, Hairy, 2003


Shearer, Geometric Mechanotherapy cell for Harmonic Alingment
