Dance of the Blessed Spirits | Carlito Dalceggio

For the first time in eight years, Carlito Dalceggio will be presenting a solo show in Montreal, which he describes as being ''sensory''. It is the product of laboratory-like research creation of new myths, and a new ritual in which painting, sculpture, fashion design, scents, installations, music, poetry, voice, and light, coalesce.

Acidum Project + REMIX
June 14th to August 13th, 2016
Galerie C.O.A is hosting ACIDUM PROJECT’s very first exhibition in Canada. The collective was founded by artist duo Tereza and Robézio (aka AC/D1): Together, they create colourful frescoes, oft Âinspired by themes of humanity and knowledge. During their stay in Montreal, the duo will also leave their colourful mark on the local landscape through their collaboration with the 2016 edition of the MURAL festival. REMIX is the second part of this joint exhibition, featuring the works of 12 artists hailing from Belgium, Spain, Germany, the UK, the US, and Canada. Mixing different influences, objects or references, each artist uses different techniques and materials, skewing their original meaning to create new combinations of different systems, often borrowing from Art History.
The artists: [CA] Sandra Chevrier, Eric Godin, Éric Nado, [US] Tom Berenz, AM DeBrincat, Nicolas Holiber, Matthew Lapenta, [UK] Simon Shepherd, Dale VN Marshall, [BE] Strook, [ES] Isaac Cordal, [GE] Jaybo Monk

PUZZLE | Alexandra Levasseur
21st of April to June 4th, 2016
Quebec artist Alexandra Levasseur presents her new solo exhibition, Puzzle. Disconcerting, touching, surreal, and magnetic, the work of this artist explores the complex spectrum of human emotions, forever in motion. This movement refers to the transformations, and the shifting in emotions, locations, atmospheres, etc. Alexandra talks about her exhibition as a mind game which interrogates the origin of life and the utility - and destiny - of human consciousness. The collection of artworks conveys a poetic reflection, in the artist's attempt to illustrate the refinement of certain scientific theories. Levasseur shows us human beings, overwhelmed and in search of meaning; people who are emerging from, nature and water.

EYE candy | Zoltan Veevaete & Alejandro Carpintero
March 3rd to April 4th, 2016
''EYE candy'' brings together two artists of different origins whose work deals with the same subject matter; the millennial generation. Born in the era of computer science, portable electronics, and digital information, this generation cultivates a form of individualism and narcissism on a daily basis. Through their referential paintings, Zoltan Veevaete (Canada) and Alejandro Carpintero (Spain) borrow from different styles, from classicism to graffiti, to present us with a highly colourful and attractive plastic offering.
