Pangée's 'Circles' Exhibition Traces a Legacy of Visionary Women Artists from Krasner to the Present

In Montreal, Pangée is hosting 'Circles', an exhibition that explores how female artists utilize abstraction and surrealism to alter perceptions and spatial dynamics, drawing inspiration from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay from 1841. The display spans works from the 1930s to 2026, featuring pieces such as Lee Krasner's 1960 'The Eye is the First Circle', Remedios Varo and Benjamin Péret's 1942 'Gruta màgica IV', and Angela Heisch's 2024 'The Search'. Additionally, Marcelle Ferron's 1947 'La souffrance, l’Éros et la Joie' and Alicia Adamerovich's 2025 'Touch-me-not' are included. Notable works also comprise Jilaine Jones's 2008 'Internal Walk', Rita Letendre's 1983 'Reflection on a Winter Night', and Élise Lafontaine's 2026 'Ogive'. The exhibition posits that these artists craft visual languages to uncover unseen forces and question dominant power structures.
