MADY Marie Bourdages, Canadian Painter.View in Your Gallery at Saatchi Gallery, UK.

If it is the goal of every artist to lay bare the major concerns and preoccupations of his or her time so that future generations viewing the work will recognize their own situations, the art of Mady, who hails from Montréal, Québec, meets this challenge with an astonishing range of paintings that speak to her uncompromising sensitivity and equal-to-the-task, productive imagination. From her divine seascapes, which reveal the idea of serenity as a place humans are no longer capable of accessing, to her portraits and domestic scenes that feature people from all walks of life at once buoyed and burdened by the unchecked impulses of the race -- racing to where they know not -- the scope of Mady’s art is a mirror that reflects much of what we are and much of where we’d like to be -- a contemporary fresco of Man in the truth of his striving and failure. For this exceptional result, we find only on the palettes of significant artists, paint, conscience and care mixed in equal proportion. Robert J. Lewis, editor of Arts & Opinion.
