Reviews:

Deidre Kelly, The Globe and Mail, April 21, 2001

...the work is visually extravagant, emotionally complex and absurdist in a marvellously theatrical way. Bravo.

 

Michael Crabb, The National Post, April 23, 2001

..most striking contribution...Chartier uses the inspiration of Bacon's often startling images to forge a mysterious, intriguing work with powerful emotional reverberations.
