Surreal Saskatchewan is a group exhibition that presents an alternative vision of life on the prairies.
Unnerving and often unexpected this exhibition reflects the uneasy life of those who make their home in Saskatchewan. Monique Blom, Trea Jensen, Vlade Marasovic, Sharon Strand Sigfuson, Jean E. Sonmor, and Leesa Streifler have created paintings that transport the viewer into alternative dream-like worlds. Worlds where prehistoric skeletal step-bison roam the plains, menacing jesters torment, rainbow hills emerge from still waters, children and women transform into animals, and life cycles into death. Every picture tells a story and nothing is as it seems. Teeter-tottering between light and dark, joyful and despairing, Surreal Saskatchewan reflects the complexities of prairie life.This exhibit is brought to Humboldt by OSAC and the Humboldt Area Arts Council.
