Marc Séguin Failures
War images, churches in ruin, iconic portraits of an assassin, a billionaire and a pope make up more than a dozen new paintings with ash, charcoal and oil on raw canvas. Using found images culled from the internet, history and text books, Séguin portrays moments in social, political, historical and personal timelines that are marked by the absence of success. From crumbling social institutions to a disintegrating religious authority and a vanished spiritual transcendence in art, Séguin’s work demands that viewers confront humanity’s failure to progress.
