Upon A Star: Corbin Elliot is an emerging artist based in North Bay, specializing in contemporary painting approaches that idealize, confront or conceptualize fated aspects of our shared reality. Where his canvas becomes a personal journalistic excavation, such paintings inevitably come to reflect and interpret a unified humanity.
Immersive in the sense of their execution, Elliot's works introduce novel techniques and sculptural paint application to transcend the painting's two-dimensional plane and dismantle the boundaries between image and the viewer's position.
At its core, 'Upon a Star', honours the range of human experiences as indebted to a life of continuous growth and transformation. The artist reminds us that while tomorrow is never promised, hope and beauty will always surround us in some way. Woven together through repeated iconography and symbolism, he creates a visual language that speaks to the surreal nature of our lives and eternally liminal presence amongst the stars we reside.
“Upon a Star” will be on display in Gallery II.
Landscapes and the calm water of returning home: Curtis Tyler Moore is the recipient of the WKP Curatorial Mentorship for 2024 which invites emerging artists without prior solo exhibition experience to submit proposals for their very own solo exhibition.
Moore's debut solo exhibition, "Landscapes and the Calm Waters of Returning Home," captures the transcendent beauty of the Northern landscape. The featured works invite viewers to experience their surroundings with a renewed sense of wonder, emphasizing the profound connection between nature, identity, and artistic expression through a contemporary lens.
“Landscapes and the calm water of returning home” will be on display in Gallery I
