Main Gallery

Kendra SartorelliWe Live For This!

Opening Reception: Friday June 25th, 7-11pm

Toronto artist and Propeller member Kendra Sartorelli presents a series of colourful, humourous paintings inspired by popular culture and mass media.  References from horror movies, tabloid magazines, comic books, advertisements and neon signs all shimmer in her brilliantly coloured acrylic works.  Sartorelli is particularly interested in aspects of “low culture” such as monster movies and shocking tabloid headlines, causing original monsters and text quoted from various tabloid media sources to be playfully combined throughout this series of paintings.

Dan BazuinBetween Here and There: New Cut-Outs

Opening Reception: Thursday June 24, 7-10 PM

Shapes of objects, words, and phrases are cut from magazine pages and arranged, speciman-like, between panes of glass.  The work exposes the beauty on the boundaries between sculpture and collage, word and picture, dream and document and how content bleeds over the edges.
