An exhibition surveying the 20-year career of Canadian artist Steven Shearer will debut in November at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center.
The exhibition, which runs from November 13–March 2017, will highlight approximately 45 of Shearer’s ink, oil, crayon and pastel drawings and paintings, as well as collage works. Several of Shearer’s word pieces, created for the Canadian Pavilion at the 2011 Venice Biennale, will also be on view. Shearer made a façade for the structure, titled Poem for Venice, jumbling together words and phrases from death metal song titles and lyrics to create a monumental poem, written in white text on a black background.
