| | BODY
The body, the suggestion of body, body in part and parts of the body have been important themes in Lemieux’s practice for three decades.
These drawings are often done in books using either watercolour,ink or gouache.Themes are developped over long periods of time.
Drawings are then paired and clustered into families - sometimes different, sometimes similar to one another.
SOLDIERS
Lined up along one wall, facing in the same direction,
the figures communicate various conditions of loss,
and the artist suggests in her statement,even shame.
Forms are abstracted almost to the point of pictographs,
yet they remain highly expressive. Some rifles are held
shoulder height as if about to be fired, others are lowered
becoming variously crutches and phalluses, salutes and
gestures of defeat.
