Ayot/Moli (by way of Maclean)

The exhibitions at the Guido Molinari Foundation since the inception of its programming more than five years ago have all been related to the personality or the work of “Moli”. When approached by Nicolas Mavrikakis to participate in his “Ayot Event”, the initial response was to acknowledge the chasm between the universe of the founder of Graff and that of the master painter of dynamic space. Then followed a search for a sort of “missing link” which might uncover commonalities between these two major figures in Quebec art, at first glance so thoroughly opposed. And then the practice of Maclean, an artist already in the Foundation’s sights, was considered anew…
