Richard Wang

*Current Exhibitor

Richard was born in Canada to parents who are also fine artists. He took an interest in the visual arts at an early age, and decided to turn his focus to Realism and all its offshoots.

Richard draws great inspiration from philosophy of mind and the nature of perception. He seeks to saddle the border between Impressionism and Photorealism, juxtaposing colour and value in a chaotic, yet oddly ordered configuration.

SUREN DAVTYAN

Born and raised in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a small town in Russia where most residing are either sailors or doing military service. Suren began to draw from a very early age and eventually developed a great passion for street art and murals, helping him grow artistically in new ways. Later in life Suren became acquainted with surrealism and artists of the golden age driving his passion for art even further.

Now, Suren is a master tattoo artist and painter. His major creative inspirations are women, love; committed in its various forms and music.

JOEY DAMMIT!

Joey DAMMIT! is a mixed media pop artist, inspired by the darker side of the cult of celebrity. With a background in advertising he has parlayed his love-hate relationship with mass media into great success, becoming one of Canada's premier pop artists.

DAMMIT! was born in Madeira, Portugal and immigrated to Toronto at the age of four. DAMMIT! experiments with a style he calls “Manic Montage”, a mixed media collage and paint work influenced by Any Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, David Fincher’s film SE7EN and Trent Reznor’s work on Natural Born Killers.

Be it paint, Crayons, photocopies, street posters, textile, steel and wood, if he could glue, tape, staple, screw or nail it onto a canvas, then DAMMIT! it must be art!
