Through various media such as painting, sculpture and video, he explores the line between plausible and unbelievable. His fascination with pareidolia, or the phenomenon of seeing figures or objects in forms created by clouds, is basis for his work.

"I make art not to make points I have already decided on, but to explore aspects of my experiences that I don’t understand. In this respect, I function like a documentary artist. Art is asking questions you don’t really know the answers to. At every step in the process, the goal is to hold yourself genuinely open, ready to learn.

Her education and drawing skills have deep roots in The Academic School of Russian Fine Art. Her passion to draw began when she was three years old. By the age of 24, Oksana had a desperate need to explore the world and to experience new visions and life styles, so she moved to North America. These days, you can find her working in Montreal as a freelance illustrator for different publisers, such as: Scholastic Canada Ltd., La Montagne Secrete, Bayard Presse Canada Inc., Les Edition Quebec Amerique, Tomont Publication Inc., The Quarasan Groupe Inc., Les EditionGraphicor, Group Educalivre Inc., Les Editions Transcontinental.

His recent work has privileged the crossing of multiple time zones, art direction, site specific installation, research, and the creation of exciting new print/font/type projects. While leaning mostly towards a conceptual art practice, he retains a great love for the tedium of making art by hand. He is in love with quality, and am particularly intolerant of crying babies.

Every once in a while, he makes a zine. He only takes pictures with his polaroid camera due to not owing a digital camera. Useally he makes Mexican food and fat sandwages.

His most recent featured paintings that seem, at first glance, to merit the description of “abstract.” He resists that characterization, choosing to term his works as non-objective. Dixon isn’t trying to portray things in his paintings; rather, he is interested in evoking and manipulating space. Even more specifically, he is trying to evoke multiple and conflicting spaces within the illusory space of the picture plane.

Decades before Facebook, Naomi had 104 imaginary friends. To entertain them she would steal Heavy Metal comics from her brother’s stash and they would all squeeze under the bed and look through the Mobius-influenced, murderous soft porn of adult cartoons. After graduating from high school, she was swept away into the world of dépêche mode and pranced across most of the planet earth in slinky dresses and fur coats. Finally landing in montreal with most of her siblings reuniting to form what they call a family….here she makes comic books …runs red bird studio… bikes fast… gets lost…bikes fast and gets un-lost…and wakes up looking for new ideas and ways to feed herself....

Early mural work as one half of the Puzzle Crew set the stage in Ottawa for the emergence of an entire school of street artists focused on innovation, dialogue and community – moving away from the dominant, ego-based form of the art. His work is often characterized by highly resolved portrait studies and he is renowned for his editorial work in Montreal, including a 5 year stint as Hour Magazine’s political cartoonist. Forming one-third of Heavyweight Art Installation he has toured and exhibited internationally in venues in Japan, England, Holland, Brussels, Germany, Italy, Canada, USA, Puerto Rico. The HVW8 Art installation first debut was painting live at the 1999 Montreal Jazz Festival. Following that the collective has been featured in Juxtapoz magazine, and have created live art across the world, participating in festivals such as the Coachella Festival in Indio, California, the Winter Music Conference in Miami, CMJ Festival in New York City, and the Candela Music and Arts Festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Amongst the flora and fauna of the coastal rainforest he spent his childhood constructing games of intricate imagination, and forts of damp twisted wood. Now residing in the colossal metropolis of Montreal, these fantasies, constructs, and companions have been relegated to only the mental landscape, allowed to venture into this world only occasionally though the tools of pen, brush, and knife.

She spends her days labouring under a weighty yoke for local comics publisher Drawn &amp; Quarterly, and/or laconically drifting through the halls of Concordia University towards a baccalaureate in Design. Her work explores the visual representation of fantastic narratives and is marked by an abiding passion for bad puns.

She studied at the University of British Columbia, double majoring in Psychology and Visual Arts, as well as at L’ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris. After graduating, she moved back to Iran for two years where she focused on painting and created a series inspired by themes from the society and everyday life of Tehran, as well as the individuals, mainly of her generation, and their dimensions and complexities. Beyond the limits of nationality and origin, however, her content is drawn from her mixed academic background leading to a focus on the layers and complexities of individuals and an appreciation for the imperfections.

She weaves images of powerful women from her life into personal mythologies. These mythologies consist of symbols drawn from both sides of her bloodline; that of the colonizer and that of the colonized. Born into a family of sailors, she was, from an early age, raised on the powerful Salish Sea, growing up amidst ropes, sextants, maps and charts. During her early teens, her romantic associations with these images were challenged. She learned that the tools she grew up with were the same ones used by early explorers. These explorers were the first in a long line of Europeans to come and devastate the culture and traditions of the indigenous peoples of what is now known as North America, traditionally known by most nations as Turtle Island. Her grandmother, a Cree from Fisher River, Manitoba, is a residential school survivor. The Residential School experience led her grandmother to raise Jeska’s mother Catholic. She would face many challenges, such as racism and oppression, growing up off-reserve. Later in life, after a lifetime of shame tied to her religious upbringing, her mother began the harrowing journey of researching Cree traditions and re-discovering her heritage. She shared this journey with Jeska, and it became the most powerful and life changing experience of her life. Jeska wishes to piece together her lineage as a visual representation of the struggles and beauty found in both sides of her traditional heritage.

This hobby soon grew into a full time interest, as Tyson began creating large-scale pieces with his signature style, influenced by 50s/60s sci-fi films, EC comics, rock and roll, Jim Henson, and interesting people on the metro. Originally working in mainly acrylics and high gloss resin on canvas or any other surface, the artist has recently adopted watercolors, charcoal, inks and coffee to his work, giving his creatures a new depth. An original native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Tyson has moved his home base to Montreal, Quebec, and is feeding off the busy artistic lifestyle that the city seems to breed. On top of exhibiting frequently all over North America, in June of 2006 he opened “Headquarters”, a new art gallery &amp; boutique which showcases independent artists, writers &amp; publishers, designers, and musicians from across the globe. His future plans include many more exhibitions, experimenting with new materials, collaborating with other artists &amp; clothing companies, publishing a collection of his web-based comics, and touring Canada and the US with a traveling exhibition with one of his current collectives, “Birdwatchers Of North America”. www.passthepepper.blogspot.com www.HQgalerieboutique.com http://www.birdwatchers-of-na.blogspot.com/ Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:48:28 -0400 http://www.redbirdstudios.org/products-page/?category=3&product_id=33 80.00 http://www.redbirdstudios.org/products-page/?category=3&product_id=32 Even in Montreal’s deepest winter, rusting freight trains are Labrona’s (aka Felix Berbube) surface of choice. When painting a train, he never brings along any sketches; instead, a composition will come to mind on the walk to the train yard. Sometimes he brings a photo as a reference but he always draws rough lines first, which then evolve into the final oil stick drawing, he feels, and he refers to his photo album of freight train painting like a sketchbook. Growing up, his dad’s own drawing were an early inspiration, as a were 20th-century painters such as Picasso, Diego Rivera, and Expressionists like Max Beckmann, who is a noticeable influence in his figurative work. He uses the human figure, especially the face, to convey emotions and ideas, but the state of the world, war, and other scary issues provide a subtext to many of his paintings. ‘I hope my work isn’t as dreary as my concerns,’ he says. ‘I love colour and have been using it more to brighten things up’. Classic themes reoccur in Labrona’s work, including human behaviour and good-versus-evil power struggles; ‘Painting is my language, so it’s really hard to put into words. I let the work tell the story.” Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:48:28 -0400 http://www.redbirdstudios.org/products-page/?category=3&product_id=32 50.00 http://www.redbirdstudios.org/products-page/?category=3&product_id=31 I was born on December 25, 1980, in Moncton, New Brunswick. A few years later, my family moved to Montreal, Quebec, and the city has now become my home. I started drawing at an early age and have continued to love the creative process ever since. After finishing high school I was leaning towards a major in the Fine Arts but in the end was persuaded to attend Cegep in the Natural Sciences. Upon completion of my DEC, I sought to get back into something more creative and that is when I decided on Architecture. I have finished my studies in the field and am currently working for a small firm in Montreal. Recently, I returned to pursue a degree in Studio Arts and am enjoying the exchange of ideas among artists in a studio environment and the experimentation with new media.

Her work portrays a collection of hybrid characters and odd creatures posed in sparse, fragmented backgrounds. This minimalist environment suggests starting points for narratives, to be continued by the viewer. As the odd creatures in this anthropomorphic bestiary interact in scenes pulled from regularly occurring urban contexts, they explore themes of individual and group behavior. This patchwork of small, direct and humorous drawings invites the viewers to recognize themselves in the characters and contexts and to take part in the open-ended and ongoing narratives of the work.
