Audrea DiJulio & Suzanne Nacha @ loop Gallery, 1273 Dundas St. W. November 28, 2009

loop Gallery is pleased to announce exhibitions by loop members Audrea DiJulio entitled Post Haste and Suzanne Nacha entitled Origin.

In Audrea DiJulio’s Post-Haste, hasty-construction practices allow for an intuitive way of bring familiar materials together while restricting the artist's tendency to ‘control’ the form through analysis. This allows the sculpture to develop its own character simultaneously displaying the formal decisions of the artist. The forms, which have evolved from this body of work, have taken on an organic character, which is unexpected however, seems to be the result of finding the most structurally integral arrangement possible within the material.

After completing her BA in Studio Art and Art history at the University of Guelph, a strong interest in the characteristics of materials and their structural capabilities, which carried over from her investigations in sculpture, lead her to pursue a diploma in Civil Engineering Technology in Hamilton, Ontario, where she currently resides.

Suzanne Nacha’s exhibition Origin is part of an ongoing series that includes paintings, prints and drawings; the Origin series seeks to make iconic images that act as psychological mirrors to human experience. Underground imagery featuring tunnels, caves, and mine shafts are manipulated in order to create two dimensional bodies that hover between architecture and anthropomorphic form while titles from Dante Alighieri's Inferno narrative suggest ties to classical interpretations of the human condition (on earth and beyond).

Suzanne Nacha is a visual artist engaged in the language of painting. Often incorporating sculpture and installation, her work seeks to make connections between our human experience of the landscape that surrounds us and the earth as a physical body.

Please join the artists in celebrating their opening receptions on Saturday, November 28th from 2-5 pm.
