Babel 2008

About the Tower of Babel 
Over the past 20 years I have been working with architectural images. This exhibition incorporates works from an ongoing series based on the Tower of Babel. For me, this tower would have to be infinite in scale. The drawing method is axonometric, there is no horizon and no vanishing points. In theory I can draw in all directions endlessly. The other works shown in the exhibition are about 9/11 and its aftermath. At the onset of these paintings I had just been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration. These images are simultaneously about the destruction of war and the degradation of my vision.

April 22 to May 2. Opening on April 25 from 2 pm to 6 pm.

The dreamy post-apocalyptic landscapes of Mitch Clark reflect this artist's influences. Architecture, graffitti, religion, music and politics all play a big role in the developement of some of the most lyrical and original works of art to come out of Toronto by someone so young.

Kat Citroen and her Text inspired paintings are an homage to the abstractionists and poets of earlier decades, while breaking some old barriers.

Trajko Stojanovic Kosovac (1934-2002) was a prominent Serbian artist who persistently recorded the threads of his past and fused it with the language of today’s modern art. He drew inspiration from Serbian Middle Age traditions, and used his superior knowledge of copper etching and other graphic techniques to establish his strong artistic identity and set him apart from those who use more experimental methods.

Kosovac created varying compositions - from poetic and graceful Kosovo women, to almost grotesque fantasies, rich in expression and colour schemes. The atmosphere created by these graphic representations leaves behind feelings of nostalgia and respect. In Kosovac’s own words: “As I walk through the past, tracing our ancestors and discovering old and new landmarks along the way, I so become acquainted with ourselves and those others…”. Kosovac was a member of ULUS, the Serbian Artistic Group “Lada” and Belgrade’s Graphic Association.

Branka Stojanovic Trifunovski, the daughter of Trajko Stojanovic, was born in Kosovska Mitrovica in 1965.  She graduated from the University of Belgrade’s school of fine arts in 1989. She is a member of ULUS, the association of Serbian artists, since 1990. She has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions. She teaches in an elementary school in Belgrade.
