The Future is Female, with its roots in Labyris Books’ eponymous slogan of the ‘70s, captures the universal female experience as well as individual instances of what is is to be female via the work of four artists working in different mediums, from sculpture to paintings to collage. Dellasposa is proud to present new and recent work of work by Alicia Paz, Tahnee Lonsdale, Ehryn Torrell, and Gail Olding. These four artists  all explore ideas of femininity and feminism through the subject of the female form. Investigating the role of women in contemporary life, these artist’s practice draw inspiration from contemporary visual culture with a rich and layered tapestry of cultural references from history. Though gender is not the only theme found in their work, there is a common thread of women’s personal freedom of expression that weaves together the narrative of the exhibition.

I will be exhibiting work with Gallery Jones (both 620) at Art Toronto this week, which is being held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. On Saturday 25 October at 3pm, please join us for the Canadian launch of my first artist monograph Self-Similar, which will take place at booth 620 with support from RBC Emerging Artist Project and the co-publishers: Saint Mary's University Art Gallery, Macdonald Stewart Art Centre and Cape Breton University Art Gallery. I will be present to chat and sign books. 

I would like to gratefully acknowledge support from RBC Emerging Artist Project, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Gallery Jones and Robin Metcalfe, Dawn Owen and Laura Schneider for years of commitment to my work, its exhibition and this first published monograph.

Last chance to view my UK debut solo exhibition, closes 25 October. 

In A Public Signature, Torrell continues to pair abstraction with language, the result taking on different embodiments as she navigates the fine line between what can and cannot be communicated, the abstract and the representational. Her nuanced, post-modern look at her subjects, equipped with a patient and methodical practice, makes for a set of emotionally and physically confident works. “I am working toward a new abstraction in my new work – an abstraction that examines contemporary visuality and our complex relationships with objects, others and ourselves.” The Invisible Line exhibition marks Torrell's first solo exhibition in the UK. Gallery hours are Wed - Sat from 1-7pm and Sun by appt. The exhibition will be run until October 25th, 2014.
