Entre Chien Et Loup (Between Dog and Wolf)
“Entre Chien et Loup” will be on exhibit from Saturday, February 8 through Sunday, March 8, 2020, with an Opening Reception on Saturday, February 8 from 5-7 PM.
The literal translation for the French phrase “Entre Chien et Loup” is Between Dog and Wolf. A French linguist would describe this as that time of day when the light is such that is becomes difficult to distinguish between a dog and a wolf, between friend and foe, between known and unknown. In many translations, it is interpreted as the more ambiguous times of day more commonly known as dawn, dusk or twilight. Figuratively, in that time between the dog and the wolf, we cannot always know whether we are safe or threatened. We might feel deceived by our eyes and question if we truly know what we think we know. We can feel caught somewhere between comfort and fear, between what is real and unreal.
For this exhibit, LAA artists will be creating unique and powerful work focused on this thought provoking concept. Painting, sculpture, collage, photography and mixed media pieces will be featured. Artists will be bringing their own ideas and imaginations to interpreting “Entre Chien et Loup” while exploring themes such as light and darkness, comfort and fear and the real and unreal.
