Gardens of Misfortune"
Galerie Yves Laroche proudly presents Gardens of Misfortune, a collection of work by American artist Chris Ryniak and Montreal native Jonathan Bergeron (Johnny Crap). Portrayed in a series of paintings and drawings is Ryniak and Bergeron’s unique vision; a netherworld of unearthly creatures emerging from misfortunate places. All are welcome to the opening on Wednesday, July 29th 2009 from 6 to 9 pm.

With this new body of work, Bergeron and Ryniak invite us to enter a place where only the imagination exists; undomesticated civilizations of wonderful things we simply cannot explain. This is Yves Laroche’s second in a series of 2-person shows as well as these artists’ first official exhibition in Canada. Also being unveiled days before the exhibition’s opening will be a top secret project in collaboration with both artists.
