WORKS BY LINDA CHALMERS

Opening reception | September 9, 7 – 10 pm
Exhibition Runs | September 8 – 19

Gallery 1313-Cell Gallery
1313 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON

Inspired by the concept of artist detritus, Linda Chalmers explores the discarded materials she uses in her art practice as artwork in and of themselves. Known predominantly as a painter, Linda utilizes rolls and rolls of tape of varying sizes in order to create the hard-edge lines that are prevalent in her paintings. The used and discarded strips of tape are coloured by paint that has bled over the exposed surface, resulting in striped lengths of tape of varying hues. Scrunched up in balls of tape out of convenience, Linda discovered the delicate beauty inherent in these hollowed orbs of coloured, imperfect stripes. The strips of stripes, once simply part of the artist’s detritus, become independent of its role in painting; the process of painting becomes the product, documented through digital photography.

We’re very proud to announce the inaugural solo show of Cheaper 9 Alumni Artist Russel Leng this Friday at Blim! Russel’s work was a big hit at the show, both with the public and with the entire Cheaper Show Crew.

Definitely make your way down to the opening tomorrow evening anytime after 8pm. Here’s the details:

“New Nature Systems” is the inaugural solo exhibition of Vancouver artist Russell Leng. The show presents new paintings characterized by geometric forms. Leng’s work examines the relationships between the natural and built landscapes, and questions how this correlation affects how we interact with and navigate our surroundings.

Russell Leng is an artist living and working in Vancouver, B.C. He holds a B.A. in Art, and is pursuing a M.Arch from the University of British Columbia.

All the Details on Blim’s Website

See you there!
