Waning Worlds

https://www.facebook.com/events/337267773024398/

Waning Worlds will be hung in The Embassy bar from the 4th of August to the end of September, 2012.

Amanda Baron is a mixed media artist living and working in Toronto, Ontario. As a Drawing and Painting student at OCAD University, Baron was apart of the 2009- 2010 Florence Off-Campus studies program and has since completed her thesis on alienation in relation to the interpretation of the Self through the exploration of painting and collage techniques; utilizing digital software and employing intuitive and experimental processes of art, in order to investigate the supernatural characteristics of the human mind.

Waning Worlds is a new series of collage prints by Toronto based artist Amanda Baron. As a meditation on the act of art making, this body of work acts as a dialogue between analogue and digital media. Stacked, small-scale collages on acrylic glass that are scanned and then printed in a larger scale, her current work shows a reaction to her past explorations with computer-aided media. The computer here is merely a magnifying glass; illuminating and exaggerating the small imperfections that emerge from layers of collage, painting and etching.

The environments represented in Waning Worlds are inhabited by anonymous figures lingering in illusory and surreal worlds; derived from the artist’s memories, dreams and “the haunting feeling of existing in multiple places simultaneously”. Fixated on the despair of the fleeting moment, the impression of the journey and the emotional migration, Baron’s work reflects on the overlapping inner- and outer- worlds of the human psyche.

Opening Reception:
August 8th, 2012
7-10pm

Featuring music by:

DJ Cunt

Come and feel the sultry loins of the lovely Dj Cunt.

Galactic Nursery

Galactic Nursery is a two-piece collaboration featuring creative talents of Kiran Bhumber and Aziz Ahmed. These spacey jams of ambient melodies, reminiscent of a shaman's journey will take you into the artwork being shown as well as the far corners of your own mind. This live performance will feature improvisation over electronically created beats with instruments such as the clarinet, trombone, gongs and much more. A journey which makes you feel as if you have been caught in the migration of the satellites rotating around earth.

Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak at what I have been working on since my thesis. Since I am studio-less and very busy I have been working smaller and in analogue. This series is for a solo show I have coming up in August at The Embassy bar. The work will be up all of August and September, but I will post when I have a date finalized for the reception night. For June and July my roommate, Alli Melanson is showing at The Embassy and the work looks GREAT. Please check it out!

This is the final series within my thesis body of work called Feel Good Laust. Through digital collage and photo manipulation I constructed these images and once printed, worked into them with acrylic paint. The title Two Becomes Three, is fitting for this series because the introduction of two figures always resulted in a third, unexpected element. It was drawn from a quote by Plato where he suggests that two is a "non-number" because it always suggests three. Please note that the original digital files for this series are lost and now exist as original pieces of artwork.

Here is a sneak peak of a new series I am working on for my thesis. The final intent is for the prints to be mixed media over digital prints.

Folie à Deux

Here are two images I created for a final this year. They remind me of strange shaman-owl-warrior-beasts, or something along those lines. The pixelation is absolutely intentional.
