What a delightful experience it has been to share time and space with Canadian artist Shary Boyle. Her exhibition Outside the Palace of Me, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until January 15 2022, dazzled me.

It is presented onto a theatrical structure: the lodge, backstage, the stage, the star, a puppeteer show at the wax Museum, the parade, the orchestra, whiteness and The End. A total metaphor of the mysterious phenomena we share that is human life, our wild creations, our quest for identity and meaningfulness.
Every facet of the presentation is layered with masks, hidden and revealed subjects and structures.
I fell in love with her porcelain sculptures that you will see only after you have entered the main floor. They are at once whimsical, exquisitely made, colourful. She blends stoneware, gold lustre, brass rod, terra cotta, glazes, wood and more and enchantment manifests.
THE STRANGE CASE of Kyle Rittenhouse and her 2019 drawing Lone Gunman (white man). We had to discuss it, it is just too prophetic! In her drawing, a plump blond boy is coming down the street with his machine gun as all life forms run for their lives. It is so bizarre! The Rittenhouse case is such a blatant miscarriage of justice it is terrifying! I think you will get chills! I did!
