2gallery has invited nine 2gallery artists whose work they would choose to hang beside their own.
I reached out to Niloufar Salimi to collaborate. I am grateful that she generously agreed to participate and for the opportunity to exhibit alongside her.
We met and studied at OCAD, memorably, in an advanced drawing class with Ed Pien in 2007. We reconnected again after completing our graduate work. We each value gentle perception and delicate rendering as we build our work. While drawing, we are working sensitively, letting our materials and our subject matter guide the way we work. This exhibition was an opportunity for us to build work alongside one another again in another context.
The exhibition also features work by:
Edd Baptista & Andrew F. Ross
Hugo Cantin & Sebastien Cliche
Lindsay Chambers & Huy Lam
Beth James & Samuel Choisy
Erik Mohr & Jürgen Mohr
Moira Ness & Kale Vandenbroek
Paul Roorda & Melissa Doherty
Kate Taylor & Claire Desjardins
