Estelle Asmodelle

One of our newly listed artists and based in Niagara Park, Estelle Asmodelle does not shy away from using a plethora of colors in her paintings. Her works explore a vast array of themes that she feels an emotional connection to, such as the nature of the universe, mythology, unusual phenomena, inter-personal relationships, and events.

Altogether creating a multi-dimensional array of paintings that capture the true essence of nature!

Harman

When surreal means scenic, Harman expresses that fondly in his practices.

Based in Indonesia, Harman's work revolves around the natural environment and the symbolism surrounding it. By integrating an element of realism meets surrealism, he paints figurative animals that blend in with scenic backdrops, inducing a sense of calm and escapism. 

Sven Pfrommer

Experimental mixed media is no stranger to Sven Pfrommer when it comes to encapsulating the nature of everyday life.

Pfrommer's choice of mediums is photography, painting, and printmaking that cross borders with each other through his experimentations of graphic and color layering, delivering a more deepening and anecdotal visual experience in consuming his work.

Casey Moore

With an eye for environments and nature, Casey Moore takes deliberate consideration in his choice of subject and composition and has kept a narrative of connection with his various homelands running through his work. 

Moore's primary method of photography is analogous as he embraces his deep connection with the materiality of his works, ultimately reflecting in the bodily experience of viewing his photographs.

Jarrod Riggs

What better way to experience the heatwave of summer than to capture the scenic vibrancy of the moment?

Jarrod Riggs has his practices centered around his life on the Sunshine Coast in Australia where the warm glowing colors of the summer shaped his body of work. Riggs's profound focus on mid-century architecture and pop iconography stands out in his work today, emphasizing the rendered world-famous Southern Californian lifestyle in subtle yet familiar beauty.

Christine So

Calm, balanced, and focused are elements grasped by Christine So's work. 

So's work delves into the experience itself, weaving into her paintings that act as a window to a simpler world. Drawing great inspiration from nature, her work with both painting and cyanotypes expresses deliberately in romanticizing natural elements while retaining stillness in composition by using monochromatic color palettes.

Tatiana Popova

Based in Moscow, Tatiana Popova mainly draws inspiration from her study of art history to depict figurative scenes of the everyday.

Popova narrates each scene with purposeful composition with deliberate use of negative space and colors, encapsulating the simplicity of the environment and heightening the essence of mundanity.

Margaret Juul

Wrapping yourself within ripples of water is one way to cool down for the summer!

Margaret Juul's infuses her worldview of potential and fluidity into her works by letting the element of water be her guidance in her compositions. Heightening the glistening reflections and unwavering hold on her intuition, Juul's practices has led her to visualize the notion of freshness and healing in the spirit of fluidity.

Jaemin Lee

Bridging western painting and inspired tropical landscapes of Singapore, Jaemin Lee brings around lush tropical elements alongside relaxed subjects that envelope the recreational energy of a summer season. 

The idea of the tropics finds itself apparent in Lee's constant use of the color green in his paintings, one that elicits a level of tranquility and vibrancy within each composition!

Caetlynn Booth

Last but not least, we end off on a groovy note with the progressive abstraction of Caetlynn Booth's paintings!

Exploring the internal and external in-between domains, Booth manifests her unexpected relationships and cross-pollinations that develop between her paintings. Her subjects of prevalent figurative imagery are inspired by her residencies and lived experiences that become a symbolic language has emerged through which she explores abstraction and metamorphosis.
