Thoughts, emotions, aspects of the human condition and perspectives of our environment all interplay in this journey. Each painting begins with an inspirational thought, which is quickly layered revealing or obscuring colours, marks, and brush strokes.

East Coast artist Sylvia Calver
I am a fourth-year student currently attending Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax. I enjoy exploring the materiality of paint and how transformative it can be on any given surface. I think it is important to challenge the “boundaries” of what defines a painting. A painting can be an object; it does not need to hang on a wall. A painting can be made with any tool the artist chooses to use. It is the concept of a painting that defines it. Utilizing traditional cake decorating methods, I have discovered how to achieve the thickness of paint that I crave. Colours and how they interact with each other, thickness, ornamentation, and pattern are defining features of my work. My paintings involve a playful, humorous, and pseudo-psycho undertone. The intention behind my most recent work was for the viewer to experience a lust or an appetite for thick oil paint, just as I do. When I create my Cake paintings I lay them flat on a spinning wheel and treat the canvas like a cake, as if I am actually decorating one.”

Montreal artist Melanie Arcand
“I have a passion for colors. I love how they light up, enhance or distort. I like to discover them, understand them, dissect them, deepen them. I like disruption, intuition, the not-so-perfect, the genuine, the authentic. My paintings are quests, trials, errors, reconstructions and emotions. I love art, passion, the accessible and the unpretentious.
I try to create modern, decorative, and literal art that highlights texture and mixed colors on large-scale canvas to maximize the impact of colors and highlight each spatula stroke. Colorful accents play an important role in my creations; they are the essence of vividness, depth and cohesion within the painting. I’m passionate about the environment, and rely mainly on conscientious mediums such as recycled and chalk paint along with natural wax.”
