julia hepburn

today after visiting the rent-able akin collective studios at 87 wade ave in toronto

 i oogled the AKIN collective website and discovered:

the fantastical paintings/dioramas of Julia Hepburn

"In my work, I attempt to reclaim the innocence and curiosity of childhood.
 

Each compartmentalized piece displays a single scene with virtually no context. 

Viewers are encouraged to use their imaginations in order to develop a narrative explaining the scene.

The use of small, doll-sized scenes, not only draws people in physically, but also makes the darker imagery less threatening, permitting the viewer to assign a wide range of moods to the work depending on their personal interpretation."

 this installation was produced for 

the Gladstone Hotel's 2011 'Come Up To My Room'

 Hepburn studied fine-arts at mcmaster university in hamilton

she works full-time in toronto as a visual artist

although i have never seen any of this work in real time

i was truly enamored with all pieces i viewed on her website

it was really tough to narrow down what to include...make sure you check it out

I came across the solo show of Jan Ollner at OZ Studio

just in time to try to recruit you to go see it

it's 100% wonderful

The paintings are derived from a large sequence of photographs taken by the artist

while engaging in conversation with his subjects

"The result is a body of work that's as much about photography as it is about painting"

End of Discovery is Ollner's first solo show

 The show ends September 30th, 2012

but luckily it coincides with Nuit Blanche which is occurring tonight!

OZ Studio is located at 134 Ossington Ave.

(it will be open until around 1am September 29th, 2012)

  Jan Ollner has BFA in Studio Art from Concordia

and lives in Toronto, Canada
