Ghost Limbs

Ghost Limbs, the second collection by 8888, is named after a medical condition where a patient can feel pain where an amputated limb once was. It features the minimalist and enigmatic work of Jean-Michel Gadoua. Furniture for the living and dead, visible and invisible, vessels for the afterlife.Â
Influenced by the Brutalist movement and emphasizing the expressiveness of raw materials, Gadoua’s 7 new pieces are minimalist, monolithic and dark. They were accompanied by pieces from fellow artists Olivier Bonnard, Édith Sévigny-Martel, Kara Katon, Stephanie Coleman and Paul Edward Wilson. Ghost Limbs was presented at Le Centerpiece in the Fall of 2022, in Montreal.
