Animal Gods & Other Humans: Michael Caines
250 Crescent Street
Presented By: Art Gallery Of Peterborough
This 15 year retrospective organised by Peterborough curator Janette Platana highlights
painting, drawing, sculpture & video by New York-Toronto artist Michael Caines. From
large-scale figurative paintings to smaller scale drawing & soft sculpture, Caines'
work comments on the discordant nature of humanity by creating scenarios of a world
populated & controlled by its animal inhabitants. These works are examinations of
vulnerability as a human condition: coping, disguising, exposing & avoiding it.
