MELINDA JOSIE, JACOB WHIBLEY, ANDREW WILSON Event Info l Artwork Opening Reception:THURSDAY AUGUST 2nd7-10pm Location:Magic Pony Gallery694 Queen St West , Toronto ON Canada 416.861.1684 Exhibition runs August 2 - 25 2007 Magic Pony presents Mittenfists, a showcase of emerging artists Melinda Josie, Jacob Whibley and Andrew Wilson. With three unique approaches to their work, the show will juxtapose nonobjective and abstract collage work alongside enigmatic landscapes, mythical creatures, darling pugs, and watchful birds. The show's title, Mittenfists, alludes to the youthful aggression in-which they apply their process, production, enthusiasm and sense of discovery. Working with paper collage, Jacob Whibley (Team Macho) creates subtle and abstract compositions that vaguely hint at machined and organic forms. Composed with paper ephemera from as far back as the late 1800's, these constructions engage you into deciphering their fragmented colourful messages. Exploring the theme of interstitial spaces; those "between spaces", not outside nor inside existing structures and systems, he envisions what the accumulated detritus, bit rot, colour, and static might look like. Andrew Wilson's multi-layered resin paintings depict vast mountainous scenes while geometric forms, detached mountains, and abstract factories map their way across the otherworldly sky. It is this imagined terra firma which sets the stage for his drawings of clustered houses, buildings and their fantastical occupants - all imagined from some personal folklore. Dealing with the more objective, Melinda Josie's detailed paintings and drawings speak to the youthful imagination in all of us. Hers is a world where delicately rendered hedgehogs take afternoon naps in the most exquisitely patterned duvet; while outside of it's towering mushroom house, a Shiba Inu dog eagerly investigates why the local squirrels and sparrows are raising such a commotion amongst the doily laden trees. From the indefinite to the literal, Mittenfists aims to be a visual splendor. Press inquiries: Please reach us at contact@magic-pony.com |
