Jo Lechay
Canada
During a long professional career in dance and theatre in the U.S. and Canada, my direction gradually shifted to the visual arts. The body in motion has always fascinated me; the realization that drawings and paintings are not static objects on the wall but are expressions propelled by movement swept me into the visual arts. My work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada and the US, initially in conjunction with performances, and has been represented in the Kabbani Collection, Q Contemporary, in Beirut and at the Beaux-arts des Amériques in Montréal.
