Maggee Day’s works are notable for a sense of freedom, cultivated by the space outside of the canvas as much as what is in and on the paintings’ surfaces. Compelled by the architecture, streetscape, and views observed from her studio and home, the ingresses to Day’s spaces—windows and doorways—are the foundation of her recent bodies of work. Her choice of the familiar as the fundamental site of her study allows for a more experimental yet detailed exploration of materials and processes, and while her paintings appear as abstractions, they are in fact drawn from her surroundings. She explains: “Placing parameters on my work has been the opposite of restricting, it has encouraged new ways of thinking or creating." Her paintings serve as a type of visual archive, responding to changes in the city, its seasons, and environments, with each painting beginning anew in response to ever-changing external stimulus.

Neil Wedman’s ice caves are created through a process of mixing and then significantly diluting acrylic paint, until it is as close as possible to the consistency of water. Holding the canvas vertically, the paint is carefully poured from a bottle down the surface. Each canvas is then expertly tilted or rotated to direct the flow of paint. This is where the medium and subject begin to echo one another—as the layers of liquid solidify, they resemble flowstone and other forms that might occur in an ice cave. The resulting paintings present a unique visual vocabulary which unveils itself slowly, where the subject is camouflaged by the same material method used to reveal it.

Neil Wedman takes recognizable forms aimed at achieving the appearance of photographs but fall perceptually between representation and abstraction. Wedman utilizes traditional artistic techniques to explore eccentric subjects such as exploding firework factories, dessert rainbows and flying saucers. An artist of the same era as Rodney Graham and Jeff Wall, Wedman’s work has a same penchant for humour, social commentary, and deconstructing photographic art. He shares key attributes with his hometown photo-brethren and has an inclination to question the medium of photography. Wedman has produced photographs, short films, and multi-media projects, but painting stands at the core of his studio practice.
