I am Abhinaya Ramesh, a self-taught acrylic canvas artist who draws inspiration from the rich diversity of global cultures. My artistic journey began during the pandemic, a time that brought significant changes to my life. Art has become more than just a hobby; through art I've discovered the beauty of self-discovery and the power of self-expression. It's been a journey of uncovering hidden talents, exploring my creativity, thoughts and emotions. This process of self-discovery has been immensely rewarding.
I am proud to have had the honor of exhibiting my work with VASA Art Festival at Gallery 35, Brampton, in July 2024. Now, as I prepare for my upcoming exhibition with Visual Arts Brampton, I am eager to share my work with a wider audience and continue my artistic journey of expression and growth.
Curt Gaudon is a visual artist with a BDes Specialized Honours from York University. He paints with traditional mediums to layer and sculpt a deeply rhythmic surface that vibrates with energy and movement.
Curt’s recent projects explore the visual connections between land and sea, often depicting water or trees, narrowing in on the design fundamentals–line–shape–colour–and bordering on abstraction. These scenes evoke an emotional connection to a primordial world.
Artist Statement
My foundation in art has been in portraiture and I’ve recently been exploring plein-air painting, to draw out the human experience of nature. I'm looking to tap into the design patterns and rhythms that connect land and sea.
I strive to find a space between representation and abstraction, to paint ideas that surpass the confines of a specific place and to expose the visual sensations of idealised memories surrounding our lived experiences.
I work both plein-air and in-studio, exploring themes in multiple formats and iterations, typically in series. This allows me to experience an idea or location over a longer period of time and push the work past observation, into design and universality.
