In the series of paintings titled Aedh, an Irish/Gaelic term which connotes fire that does not consume itself, red is the springboard for what has been created. Often associate with harshness and aggression, the colour red in Aedh becomes voluptuous and tender.
Since the earliest days of her career, Françoise Sullivan has explored the relationship of the unconscious with painting and dance. Born in Montréal, she was a founding member of the Automatiste movement, ushering in dramatic cultural change to Québec.
