Canadian sculptor, Tom Ashbourne uses the natural energy and natural colour of the medium to create beautiful contemporary abstract sculptures.

Tom has received many national and international awards, including ATIM’s “Top 60 Masters” (2022), American Art Awards “Best Non-Representational Sculptor” (2021, 2022), DESTIG Best Artists of 2020.

“I strive to capture my subjects in a classical, sensual way, presenting the human form as an extension of or in juxtaposition to nature and urban surroundings. The fragility of the human form against luminous, rugged and desolate landscapes creates a mood of sensuality and beauty existing within the contrasting context of textures and tones between the two elements.”

Just as a bird collects and interlocks the material debris of their environment to weave a nest, a painter plucks colors from her palette and layers them in brushstrokes until a satisfying composition is achieved. Likewise, Alderman builds her “nest” paintings line by swooping line until a warp and weft of hundreds of marks create an inverted explosion of color. The results are unresolvable, psychedelic burls that limn an inner void while appearing fervently, almost painfully, full.

De Klaver’s work explores what is most connected to our soul and considers emotive textures, marks, and movement in its raw and meditative energy. Through a hybrid form of abstract expressionism, de Klaver paints on canvas with a gradation of blacks, blues, pinks and white inspired by the dramatic ocean and beautiful light of the east end of Long Island. She has described painting as a form of storytelling, self-evident in both expressive movement and calligraphic forms within her work.

LOUISE WANNIER
Jason Watts’ paintings portray a complex, dynamic world that is grounded in setting scenes, using nostalgic references to blend past, future, and present. Though his paintings have universal relevance, his choice to focus on the American city gives his work a narrative presence. He sees his work as a unique window to the past, yet always with an eye toward telling his own story. As a mid-career artist and muralist, his “When we ruled the world” references the spirit and optimism of youth.
