EXHIBITION - Kirlian cities, Genetically Modified Wallworks, Alchemical Paintings

Shifts & Auras. Exhibition (Toronto): To come see the works in person Nov.27/28, or by appointment contact HERE

SHIFT: The studo show features larger “scupltural” paintings on thousands of slices of spliced paper (which reveal detail and color from different angles), a number of small works with complex textured/painted/crystaled surfaces, and a couple of larger works on canvas (archtiectonic auras).

CRISPR PAINTINGS: More in the series HERE. Genetically-modified artworks, the individual ‘visual genes’ of the painting cut n paste edited like in the gene-editing CRISPR technology.

SMALLS:

Rashomon works, the painintg shifting constantly. Alchemical spliced paintings, acrylic, ink, crystals on paper. 16 x 16” framed (13 x 12” unframed). The meticulous linear surfaces disurpted/enhanced by the random faceted surface. Flattened Faberge eggs, a Kurt Schwitters brooch, genetically modified cyanotypes…

WORKS ON CANVAS: Left: Metatropolis series Right: Shift series. The Metatropolis works are Kirlian cities - architectonic auras. The Shift series were done en plein air, at specific sites - some in -20 degree weather - using local “data” (flora, etc) to “GPS” the work to the location.
