Luanne Martineau’s hybrid felted wool sculptures blur the boundaries between high modernist art and craft. With cultural references ranging from R. Crumb to Modernist masters, Martineau engages in a long tradition of merging social satire with contemporary art and creates powerful confrontations between the attractive, the familiar and the grotesque. Martineau’s work was featured in the 2007 Montreal Biennial and in the recent How Soon Is Now exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
