Cell Gallery: PIVOT OF LOVE works by Sandra Nicole Franke
Each painting corresponds to a text from the four Gospels where Mary Magdalene appears. Based on two years of research, this display of abstract mixed media paintings goes beyond biblical passages, especially for those who are not scripturally inclined. The Pivot of Love is something which can happen in all of our lives. Love is a strong force which can pivot you towards something better. It is my viewpoint that Jesus fell in love with Mary Magdalene and this completely changed his journey- from sin to love, from ascetic to sensualist. Each painting represents a step in this journey which can be one’s own journey. There are two titles for each painting, one secular and one biblical, both about love.
Process Gallery: GREY AREA by Stella May.
Grey Area showcases fine-art-influenced studies, taken to a spirited level. It is an attempt to find a place within disciplined fine art while keeping my sense of curiosity and honesty. Using only pencil and eraser, Grey Area expresses my love of the craft. Interpreting the model’s poses, I aspire to create an airy, animated feel for the show, inviting the audience into a Grey Area: a dance between form and function, light and dark, longing and love
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 bodymind informs and constructs the transformation of itssurroundings through the knowledges of lived experience. Using both the works themselves andthe 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
