Braxton Garneau

Sharing some final photos from my time at @golden_art_fdn Truly grateful to have had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in material exploration, working across an expansive range of paints, mediums, and technologies in ways that challenged and expanded my approach to making. Thank you to Emma and Jess for taking such wonderful care of my co-residents and me throughout our month at the Foundation Studio. It was a truly a privilege to have access to the full range of Golden products 🤯 and minds of the brilliant team of technicians. Would not be offended if that lemon tart recipe made its way into my inbox 🍋

On view Braxton Garneau: 'Antilles Lace' 🖤 In his first solo exhibition at moniquemeloche, Garneau presents a series of richly textured portraits created with harvested and hand-processed materials such as raffia, ground pearls, and asphalt, a medium that connects his Trinidadian heritage to his family’s migration to Alberta. Layered with symbols of spirituality, trade, and cultural continuity, these works reflect on how materials can hold memory and transform histories into new forms. On view through November 1.

Huge thank you to @newcitymag and writer Teddy Sandler for the incredibly thoughtful review of 'Antilles Lace', Braxton Garneau’s debut solo exhibition at moniquemeloche! “Garneau crystalizes diasporic and colonial histories into a pearl of resistance … a visual language that feels both intimate and monumental.” 💜 Read the full review at the link in our bio, and experience 'Antilles Lace' in person through November 1. @newcitymag @braxton.studio @sandler.tdy

moniquemeloche is pleased to present two solo exhibitions opening next Saturday, September 20. In the main galleries, 'To Translate is to Move Across' features new works by Lagos-born, Chicago-based Luke Agada. Drawing on Homi Bhabha’s concept of the “third space,” Agada explores globalization, migration, and cultural dislocation through surrealist paintings and drawings that hover between form and fluidity. Since moving to the US in 2021 for his MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Agada has reflected on how home can mean more than one place. For his first full solo exhibition with the gallery, the works articulate a vision of movement that resists fixed categories, exposing the hybrid, fluid nature of meaning and belonging. In Gallery 3, 'Antilles Lace' marks the first solo exhibition at the gallery by Canadian artist Braxton Garneau. Garneau draws from European portraiture and Afro-Caribbean traditions to explore diasporic and colonial histories rooted in his Trinidadian heritage. Using raffia, ground pearls, marble dust, and notably asphalt- linking Trinidad’s Pitch Lake to Alberta’s oil sands, Garneau creates textured portraits that act as shrines of memory, adorned with symbols of spirituality, trade, and cultural continuity. Coinciding with Chicago Exhibition Weekend, join us for a special artist talk with Luke Agada and Braxton Garneau, moderated by Danny Dunson at 3pm, preceding our opening reception from 4-7pm.
