Exhibited artist: Julie Moon
Patel Brown is proud to present a solo exhibition of new works by a Toronto-based ceramic artists Julie Moon.
Moon’s dedication to her practice is motivated by material and process. The universality and tactile qualities of working with clay offers a refreshing contrast to our screen-dominated lives. Moon often draws from popular culture, using an accessible visual language that resonates with broad audiences. Her work pays homage to the Pattern and Decoration movement of the 70’s and 80’s, while embracing the inclusive spirit of the 1960’s and 70’s counterculture movement. Simultaneously, Moon’s admiration for the bold and clear aesthetics of modernism and post-modernism, is also very apparent.
Nothing is good anymore
Exhibited artist: Kim Dorland
Patel Brown is proud to present a solo exhibition of new works by an acclaimed Canadian painter Kim Dorland.
Dorland pushes the boundaries of representation through an exploration of memory, material, nostalgia, identity and place. Drawing heavily from the history and language of painting, the loose yet identifiable scenes are interjected with areas of heavy abstract impasto. His refusal to remain faithful to one medium or approach plays into the symbiotic nature of his work.
