Résumé du livre
The past three decades of Dan Steeves' artistic career as a printmaker have been punctuated by his evolving exploration of the theme of how good and evil battle for the souls of the living. 'The Memory of Pain' examines an intensely personal trauma that afflicted his family. The prints comprising this exhibition are depictions of home and of the ruins of the Second World War Austrian slave labour and Jewish concentration camp at Mauthausen. Steeves' personal struggle and its lingering memories are points of departure for a compelling artistic exploration of an encounter with pain and suffering and its transformative, mortal aspects.0Exhibition: Confederation Centre Art Gallery, Charlottetown, Canada (27.01.-26.05.2013).
