Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist and muralist Curtia Wright focuses on today’s developed societies’ unbalanced and unjust reality. Being an unprivileged person is always difficult, and it doesn’t matter which country you live in. Socioeconomic, racial, gender, sexual orientation, or whatever reason, people still feel left out, marginalized, and outsiders.
Curtia Wright was born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, and studied Fine Arts at Ontario College of Art & Design University. Therefore she can use many mediums such as drawing, mural, illustration, painting, and sculpture as a canvas to express herself.
When you see her works, you can instantly feel connected and recognize you discovered a humble soul. Her works are beautiful, lush, colorful, and all the positive vibrant carries a strong message to empower Black, queer, immigrant communities.
“delve into the spiritual and mental wellness of peoples of the African dysphoria; linking to mythology/folklore while disseminating what ‘fantasy’ means. Her work questions societies indoctrinated beliefs of what femininity and blackness are in relation to gender.”
Hank Reavis is a Seattle-born and raised artist. Graduated with BA from Western Washington University, he uses airbrushing as his primary choice of medium and paints reproductions of random imagery which occupies space in collective memory.
When I found out about Wong Chun Hei Stephen and Ariel Lee, two amazing artists one based in Hong Kong and the other in southern California, I was struck by their talent to reflect what they experienced in nature into their art.
Toronto based German-Brazilian painter Jeanine Brito’s paintings are often inspired by her recollections, but they revive on the canvases with a theatrical and surreal touch, while discussing the fragility of memories, and how they turn into merely a feeling when the details fade.
