We are delighted to introduce our February/March exhibition, Fluid Streets by Akin Lansdowne artist, Dalia Hassan!

Dalia Hassan is visual artist born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. Having grown up in a densely-populated
metropolis, her earlier work adopted the theme of urbanism and city life. Her paintings are often
dominated by the abnormalities of her urban environment with a fantasized setting.

Last Summer Dalia moved to Toronto, and her work has since been transforming into abstraction.
Navigating her way around initially depended on digital maps as she gradually familiarized herself with
the city. In Fluid Street, a series of small paintings, she records the transition from a virtual reference to
conscious imagery etched in memory.

Fluid Streets is on exhibit in the Akin Vitrine Galleries beginning at 1485 Dupont for the month of February and 1747 St. Clair Avenue West in March.
