ARTIST

David Brown’s practice is rooted in the human figure as a site of memory, pressure, and transformation. Working primarily through drawing-based sculpture, he translate life drawings into folded encaustic monotypes and three-dimensional wall works that hover between image and object. These pieces are constructed through a process of tessellation, cutting, and folding, creating surfaces that fracture and reassemble the body into rhythmic planes.

ARTIST

Melanie Cheung is a Canadian contemporary abstract artist of Chinese and British descent based in Hamilton, Ontario. Her work explores human nature and the quiet, unspoken aspects of existence. Through fluid layers of paint and mixed media, she examines emotions that are often difficult to define. Colour and organic form play a central role in her practice, shaping subtle, introspective narratives.

ARTIST

Originally from the Philippines and now based in Brantford, Ontario, Ethel Voronkova studied Fine Art at Centennial College. She has exhibited across Canada, and her work is held in private collections throughout North America and Europe.

Her studio practice is rooted in an intuitive exploration of the subconscious. Working primarily with acrylic on raw canvas, she embraces the material’s immediacy—allowing washes of colour to seep, stain, and settle organically into the surface. 

ARTIST

Curt Gaudon is a painter recognized for his captivating land and seascapes. He grew up by the Great Lakes and currently lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

His works occupy the space between representation and abstraction, painting ideas that surpass the confines of a specific place and tap into design patterns and rhythms that connect land and sea.

Building on his foundation in portraiture, Curt Gaudon has been exploring how plein-air painting can draw out the experience of nature. In 2024 he was Jurors’ Pick for the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.

ARTIST

Mya Naidoo is a Toronto-based artist working with both painting and drawing. Her work explores the subconscious distortions of memory and familiar imagery, as a journal through her life. In 2025 she received her BFA from the OCAD University.

Working primarily in oil, her practice explores memory, light, and the embodied experience of the sun in nature. Through thinly layered abstraction, her paintings evoke emotional atmospheres that balance movement and stillness, inviting moments of calm beyond representation.

ARTIST

His ongoing series, Forma Mechanica, examines the tension between structure and emotion—bridging the mechanical and the organic through rhythm, movement, and form.
