Tanya Slingsby & Christine Breakell-Lee, "Mutual," invitation

Opening Reception: Friday, March 10, 6-9pm. Artists in attendance.

Two women, two abstract painters, a mutual creative space & a mutual philosophy, is the premise behind the exhibition. KIMOTO GALLERY is very proud to present its next two-person exhibition titled “Mutual” which features new series by Tanya Slingsby & Christine Breakell-Lee. 

Both artists are well-known for having their own unique and distinct styles, yet due to their individual passions toward exploring abstraction and formalism in their work, their work also works beautifully together. These two hardworking professional artists share a studio space at 1000 Parker Street, they share walls side by side in more than one Vancouver collectors home, and not to mention in many Designers studios.

‘Mutual’ is a shared experience of colour and surface through abstraction and painting where opposing forces engage to reveal their necessity. These works explore the pushing and pulling of lightness and darkness, the crossovers between the ethereal and the tangible and the contrast of movement and stillness. These relationships are metaphors for the emotional complexities of the artists’ desires, challenges and aspirations.

About TANYA SLINGSBY 

Tanya Slingsby works independently Parker Street Studios in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2002, she has focused solely on abstraction in painting. Using a formalist approach, Slingsby explores the energetic and emotional interplay of colour, texture and surface. Each work is a meditative addition and subtraction, layering polymer resin, pigment and encaustic ‘mis en plat’. Tanya was born and raised on Saltspring Island in the Gulf Islands of the West Coast. She completed her Bachelors Degree with Honours in Fine Arts and History of Art at the University of Victoria and holds a Masters Degree in Aesthetics and History of Art by scholarship from the University of Sussex, UK.
