Great works of art depicting snow
ANNETTE LEMIEUX,
Potential Snowman
Annette Lemieux is part of a global wave of artists that emerged in the 1980s. With a typically adversarial approach, she presents a deconstructed snowman. Lemieux doesn’t muck about. Her work addresses weighty issues – the nature of time, the truth of ideas – but not without humour. The clinically white Potential Snowman consists of three spheres, a carrot nose, and a selection of coal – all drained of colour. They seem not to have progressed beyond their plaster beginnings. You might say it looks unfinished – indeed it could be a snowman, but it’s not yet. You’ll have to paint the nose orange, the coal black, and arrange all the pieces to create the familiar form. The work was created as a response to the events of 9/11, which tempers the wintery cheer somewhat.
