Catch a glimpse of Lindsay's work here

This month we checked in with some of the resident artists in our studios at Collision Gallery to see what they have been working on over the last few months. This week we caught a glimpse of new work in progress by Lindsay Chambers.

"Hello, my name is Lindsay Chambers and I am an artist at Akin's Collision Studio''. “Paper, by virtue of its intended function, has a relationship with the human need to communicate with others. With or without obvious markings upon its surface, crumpled and discarded or particularly arranged, there is an under-standing that a piece of paper has been created and influenced in content, form and gesture by its previous handler. Paper is made to capture a piece of ourselves, and my work explores this relationship.”

Lindsay Chambers is a Canadian artist currently practicing in Toronto, Ontario. Her work explores the delicacies of the human condition through paintings based on crumpled paper sculptures. All reference material, including any pattern or text, is carefully executed by the hand of the Artist. Chambers’ painting objective is always to explore materials, to manipulate paint and maintain the visibility of layers. The subject matter, as it explores our relationship with paper, is at times representational while at other times aims to find a space between realism and abstraction.

Chambers has an Honours BA from the University of Waterloo in Fine Arts and Psychology, a certificate in 3D for Broadcast Animation and Design from Humber College and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Windsor. Her work belongs to collections across Canada, as well as in the United States, UK, Dubai, New Zealand, Australia and Japan. View the full video via the link in our bio. Video by Lindsay Chambers.
