I have worked in various\u00a0\u00a0mediums but am currently working towards a another series of paintings as I\u00a0approach upcoming shows in the summer and fall.<\/p>\n<p>My work is often involving the transitory landscape depicting everyday landmarks as they\u00a0change or remain a constant. Landmarks are vital to our sense of place, our\u00a0identity, and how we navigate our known environment. I develop my paintings\u00a0through both memory and analog photo referencing.&#8221; \u00a0Val Sears<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/rsz_arttoronto1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11685\" title=\"rsz_arttoronto1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/rsz_arttoronto1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a>Val Sears<br \/>\nOld Empty Structure, 2012<br \/>\noil on woden panel<br \/>\n16 x 20 inches<br \/>\n$600. <strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Auction starts at $300<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/rsz_artoronto2_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11686\" title=\"rsz_artoronto2_(1)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/rsz_artoronto2_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"290\" \/><\/a>Val Sears<br \/>\nOld Empty Structure in Passing, 2012<br \/>\noil on woden panel<br \/>\n16 x 20 inches<br \/>\n$600. <strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Auction starts at $300<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>VAL SEARS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My work is often involving the transitory landscape depicting everyday landmarks as they change or remain a constant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=11669\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11669","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=11669"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14732,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11669\/revisions\/14732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
