For the last ten years the tradition embedded in figurative rendering has been used to evoke. Commitment and discipline are bringing experience through obsessive mark-making as intensity of Line of Life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This exhibition derives from three different parts of the body of work created in the last seven years. First &#8211; the body parts drawings. Second &#8211; the series of 8.5 x 11 drawings, and large sculptures. Third &#8211; the drawings with circles, and the mixed media sculptures.<\/p>\n<p>The drawing is meditative, is about contemplating compassion and wisdom. Ephemeral innocence aims to be tangible. Similarity is seen between the endless breathing and the thread of endless line of ink drawings, between everyday endless footsteps and woven sculptures of plastic strapping.<\/p>\n<p>The line is used fanatically as line of Life. Life of an experience, of an event, a thought, a person, a drawing. Endlessly starting from scratch, and building on the reference point. Time and Line based on energy and intensity recorded visually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>September 22 &#8211; November 19, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Kananaj Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This exhibition derives from three different parts of the body of work created in the last seven years. <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=4167\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4167","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\/4167","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=4167"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4170,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4167\/revisions\/4170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
