Angell Gallery will soon be hosting a solo exhibition by Jessica Thalman, titled "Luminous and Grey."The exhibition presents a series of new wall-mounted, photo-based sculptures by Jessica Thalmann inspiration from David Batchelor's book The Luminous and the Grey (2014), in which the London, U.K.-based artist defends grey's role in enhancing the sense of "delirium, pleasure, delight, wonder" that we experience before more luminous colors. This exhibition marks Thalmann's second presentation at the gallery. For her work, Thalmann photographs buildings and streetscapes, which are reworked by cutting, folding, re-arranging and overlaying with geometric areas of color, drawing attention to architectural details and forms. The artist takes inspiration from artists like Daniel Buren, Barbara Kasten, Walead Beshty and Liz Deschenes using light, colour, form and, yes, grey, to deconstruct and delineate architectural spaces so that the viewer can better discern their easily overlooked, yet marvelous, qualities. The Toronto-based artist received her MFA from ICP-Bard College in New York in 2015. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions at the Aperture Foundation, the International Centre for Photography and Humble Arts Foundation (New York), the VIVO Media Arts Centre (Vancouver) and Gales Gallery at York University (Toronto). She is currently at work on a public art project for display around the Honest Ed's development for two years, beginning spring 2018. The exhibition will be on view through January 27, 2018, at Angell Gallery, 1444 Dupont St #15, Toronto, ON M6P 4H3, Canada.For details visit: www.angellgallery.comClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the artworks.
