Opening June 6 at VEFA Gallery:
Maïté Côté: Heart of Fur
The Altered Familiar
The innocence of childhood takes on a new skin.
In Heart of Fur, Maïté Côté transforms the teddy bear, one of our most familiar symbols of comfort, into a vessel for memory, protection, identity, and instinct. Through hyperrealism and surreal animal hybridization, each work asks what remains soft, what becomes guarded, and what part of us had to become wild.
Join us for the opening reception of VEFA Gallery’s newest exhibition.
