Main: AS ABOVE SO BELOW Works by Tatjana Hutinec
A painting series that references the expression that what goes on Above, in Heaven, the Mind, affects and influences what is Below, the Earth, Emotions, Body
My cloud-dominated seascapes allude on digital Cloud network systems collecting our data and telling us how we should feel and behave. By delving into the theme of water in its various forms I refer to the interconnectedness of what is above, below and within us and invite the viewer to reflect on how perceptions, thoughts and actions can influence their well being and impact the environment.
I imply the importance of observing clouds in the sky and connecting with nature as it leads to a greater sense of self and the relationship with the environment.
Cell Gallery: Quadrilateral Works by Paul Brandejs CELL GALLERY
Cesta, or the “Way,” is a series of abstract paintings I have developed over several decades. Quadrilateral is one part of this series, showcasing what appear to be chaotic splashes, drips, and smears on recycled cardboard. These pieces come to life spontaneously as I work on my sculptural and shaped canvases. Despite the spontaneous nature of the process, I maintained control by carefully rotating several pieces over the years to regulate their color schemes. What could have been cast-offs have now become artwork. The resulting layered, abstract, gestural work highlights the art-making process and represents the culmination of my four-decade-long career.
Process Gallery: IN THE FOLD : A Textile Exhibition ..Step Into the Fold, a fine line between craft and fine art. This exhibit explores the vast ability of textiles to hold and transform narratives through use of traditional means; from expressive tapestries to expressive forms of sculpture, each piece invites viewers to step into a new perspective and delve into the intimate world of textiles. Featuring artists who innovate with needle and thread, they create a new language of connection and gathering. Artists exhibit textile works in diverse exhibit. Participating artists include: Andi Syme, Edward McDonough , Jailynn Fizsimmons , Michael Donohue , Courtney Fairweather , Michael Freitas and others. Curated by Phil Anderson, Madeleine Young and Victoria Filippo
Window Box Gallery: Transformative Access at The Window Box Gallery, September 1st 2024 – April 30th 2025 Over the tall, brick wall across from the Dollarama, you may catch a bright reflection of light. This is the Window Box Gallery, which is accessible via the entrance courtyard of Gallery 1313 (1313 Queen Street West, www.g1313.org). It will be populated with bursts of colour, insight, and transformational visions from September 1st 2024 – April 30th 2025.Throughout the length of this project, three emerging Toronto artists will present solo exhibitions; Harmeet Rehal (Sept. 1, 2024 – Oct. 30, 2024), Sunshine Torme Johnson (Nov. 1, 2024 – Dec. 30, 2024), and Hollis McConkey (Jan. 1, 2025 – Feb. 28, 2025), will take on the challenge of investigating how the disabled body mind informs and constructs the transformation of its surroundings through the knowledges of lived experience. Using both the works themselves and the mediums in which they are displayed through, the artists will showcase desire, friction and care through the disability lens, and the intimate places it intersects the whole of the artists. Over that brick wall, you will find Crip Horizons. This project is produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council
