Note:
Erin Loree is a Toronto-based artist from Gananoque, Ontario. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design University, Loree also completed a six-month residency at the Sachaqa Art Center in San Roque De Cumbaza in Peru. Loree works intuitively and expressively in oil on canvas. Her bold and somewhat absurd colour palette evokes seemingly contradictory emotions as the viewer is confronted with her familiar yet unsettling portraits. Vibrant, saturated colours are the background for abstracted figures, depicted with luxurious swathes of thick, visceral paint laid down with great speed, ultimately expressing a sense of introspection and of personal transformation.
