Since her graduation from George Brown College with a Graphic Design Major she\u2019s been working successfully as a Graphic Artist in the Marketing and Advertising field. Being passionate about art she has also started a new career complimenting her design accomplishments \u2013 painting.<\/p>\n<p>Irina\u2019s medium of choice is fluid acrylics. Her painting process is not theoretical, but primarily physical and sensory. She works with abandon, very often re-doing the same painting many times till she gets to the very essence of the matter. The words of a great master of abstract art Emil Schumacher sum up her process very well: \u201cI approach the painting like I approach a wall, in order to find a gap through which I can enter, to get behind the unknown of the boundary. Once I have achieved it, it is no longer a secret and a new wall arises before me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Irina is also an art educator. She\u2019s been teaching drawing and painting fundamentals at the Koffler Centre of the Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Her recent exhibitions include Art for All Canada (Best in show), Willowdale Group of Artists show, 4 th Israeli Artists Group Annual Show. Peter My Boy, a book designed and illustrated by Irina was recently published by Kindle Amazon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11282\" title=\"Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet_1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a>Irina Litinsky<br \/>\nImaginigs from the Orange Planet 1<br \/>\nMixed media<br \/>\n$200<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11283\" title=\"Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a>Irina Litinsky<br \/>\nImaginigs from the Orange Planet 2<br \/>\nMixed media<br \/>\n$200<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet-_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11284 aligncenter\" title=\"Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet _3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Imaginigs_from_the_Orange_Planet-_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a>Irina Litinsky<br \/>\nImaginigs from the Orange Planet 3<br \/>\nMixed media<br \/>\n$200<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>IRINA LITINSKY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I approach the painting like I approach a wall, in order to find a gap through which I can enter, to get behind the unknown of the boundary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=11281\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11283,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11281"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11292,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11281\/revisions\/11292"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
