Quiet Pandemonium 15 Winnie, 2020
Available at the Contemporary Art Gallery, 555 Nelson St. in Vancouver. Lyse Lemieux’s 2020 Quiet Pandemonium 15 (Winnie) inkjet print, watercolour 20" x 14" (50.8cm X 35.5cm) Edition of 10 + 2 APs; signed with hand-painted details, unframed ($400)
For over 40 years, Lyse Lemieux’s prolific, experimental drawing practice has seen her operate between abstraction and representation. During the initial weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic — and its attendant struggles with disconnection, restriction and uncertainty — Lemieux began a series of ink on paper drawings titled Quiet Pandemonium, from which this piece is drawn. Originally titled Quiet Pandemonium 15, Lemieux revised the work's title following a friend's reference to the lead character from Samuel Beckett’s 1961 play Happy Days, where a woman is embedded in sand — first to her waist, then to her neck — as she tries to go about her daily life. Produced here in an edition of 10, the artist has applied select watercolour details by hand to each print.
