Wallace's industrial textures

Toronto's Show & Tell Gallery has been showing and telling high quality works by American artists, especially from New York.  Their current group show features works on paper by Brooklyn based Ryan Wallace.  Drawing inspiration from science and technology, Wallace's geometric compositions are collages of beautiful cold-coloured industrial textures.

Lamarche and Marshall's urban dynamism

Still got that NYC fever in me ...

I visited Toronto's Show & Tell Gallery today and found myself impressed by New York artist Greg Lamarche's hand-cut paper collages.  Inspired by the dynamism of his native NYC, Lamarche's works show clear traits of graffiti art while playing with font styles and rhythmic repetition.

Also at the show was another American artist James Marshall (aka Dalek).  The vibrant colours of Marshall's paintings resonated perfectly with Lamarche's urban scribbles.

Double Rainbow Rainbow

Currently showing at Show & Tell Gallery here in Toronto, American artists Maya Hayuk and Jen Stark delivered an explosion of colours with their exhibition aptly titled Double Rainbow Rainbow.
