Ground Level
Trevor Gould's work questions the foundations and mechanisms of the nature/culture antagonism that shape an important part of our relationship to otherness. Gould takes an incisive but enlightened look at the power games between the West and the African continent that have been built over the course of conquests. The new cultural geography created by Gould is populated by human & animal. Certain protagonists of this iconography, such as monkeys and giraffes for example, are associated by the artist with symbols of Africa and pose questions about identity, uprooting and transfers.
Trevor Gould a native of Johannesburg, South Africa, lives and works in Montreal, where he has long been a professor of sculpture at Concordia University. Gould's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
