Drawing on rich and varied sources such as 19th-century French illustrator J.J. Grandville (La Vie Privée et Publique des Animaux) and folktales such as Puss in Boots, Wainio explores the narrative power of fairy tale illustrations. Her paintings however evoke a mood of disenchantment and loss rather than wonder. The subjects of the traditional European folktale - poverty and excess, high culture and low, desire and consumption, camouflage and forms of recognition or status through representation or dress - become commentaries on today’s global consumerist society and its inequities.

 

Published to accompany an exhibition held at the Carleton University Art Gallery Feb. 22 - Apr. 11, 2010. Exhibition curated by Diana Nemiroff.

 

Includes essays by Donald Beecher and Randy Innes.
