DOGMA: Finding Ground While Embracing the Void
Solo Exhibition by Yoakim Bélanger
Opening Reception: May 22, 5 pm – 8 pm
Galerie LeRoyer | 41 Saint-Paul West
In a world where truth wavers under the weight of imposed certainties, DOGMA questions erasure, reconstruction, and the search for identity. Through fragmented faces and surfaces marked by time, this series explores the tension between submission and emancipation, between dogma and free thought.
Ultimately, DOGMA is an affirmation of freedom. The mouth—often the only visible trace of the face—embodies speech that resists, that persists despite censorship and oblivion. The absence of eyes, rather than a negation, becomes an open space, an invitation to redefine oneself, to break free from external judgment.
In this series, the opposition between destruction and rebirth, figuration and abstraction, oppression and liberation, becomes the ground for a dialogue where art does not dictate a truth but invites us to rediscover it.
