I just love these old weird medieval paintings.

He's considered unique because they're distinctively French

Tauba Auerbach


I always like it when artists find ways to make art that isn't really about certain subjects and instead it's more about processes.

Monir Farmanfarmaian








Her stuff looks absolutely amazing with all of the mirrors and refracted light intermixed with geometry, pattern and mosaic. I can only imagine what it must look like in person.

Royal Nebeker




I saw his exhibition at the MOA today and I was quite captivated by his own use of symbolism, color and nuances of the human figure. I even almost started crying. These are very interesting paintings that tell their own story. They are dramatic, colorful, organized, and sophisticated all at once. It makes me think about doing figurative work.
My favorite thing about his figures is that he doesn't give theme a lot of detail. They're very gestural and yet there's just enough to see that he is a very good draftsman.

REALLY like his stuff. These are all just drawings of his installations and sculptures but I like these better than those.

These are like the weirdest photographs I've ever seen so I LOVE them! I also think it's cool that his name kind of matches the images. 

Troy Moth was born in a remote tree-planting camp on the west coast of Canada and spent the first few years of life in a tent guarded by his parent’s large dogs. He loved the wild and abundant nature he grew up immersed in, but eventually the call to adventure became too much and he moved, first across Canada to the big city (Toronto), then across the world to India, to pursue a career in photography.
Troy has worked for numerous commercial and editorial clients, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, GQ and many others. He has also exhibited his work nationally in Victoria, Vancouver and Toronto and Internationally in New York, Kansas, Italy and Switzerland.
