Noon | Oct. 7
University Recital Hall
Free admission, all are welcome to attend

As an abstract painter, Saskatoon-based Marie Lannoo has been applying layers of transparent acrylic colour on various support surfaces for more than three decades. Well-known as a conceptually groundbreaking non-objective painter, Lannoo is one of the few artists informed by a substantial knowledge base in both art and science to investigate light as the basis for her colour field paintings. ~ Wayne Baerwaldt

Marie Lannoo is a Canadian artist based in Saskatoon. She studied at York University and the University of Saskatchewan with an Honours BA in French Literature and Fine Arts.
