EXHIBITION: JAN 22 - FEB 18, 2022
NOVAH GALLERY (176 Lakeshore Drive, North Bay, ON)
The Nipissing Region Curatorial Collective (NRCC) is proud to present 'YASSIFIED: Culture Mapping and Very Queer Things, new work by Canadian Artist, James. Fowler.
Two bodies of work, 'BARCODE' and 'HUNTY' are being shown concurrently and explore toxic masculinity through a queer lens. Objects playfully augmented with embroidery and embellished with glitter are given new meanings with a shifting context. Beneath the surface, Fowler is igniting conversations of mens' role in feminism and their responsibility to interrogate and dismantle patriarchy.
YASSIFIED runs until FEBRUARY 18th, 2022. Please visit our 'public walkthrough gallery space' during normal business hours, Monday to Saturday.
Health and safety protocols are being observed throughout the exhibition. For more information please contact: nrcc2014@gmail.com
Drawing inspiration from aerial views of cities and maps, James Fowler's acrylic, oil and gouache works on canvas, paper, and wood are playfully geometric and resonate with the digital world, and culture of online information distribution. His non-traditional landscape paintings borrow from cartography and geometric abstraction and celebrate both urban centres and rural living. He attended York University in Toronto for Film Studies and maintains a full-time studio practice as a painter in Toronto. His work has been exhibited in Canada and United States, and his work can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, US and Europe.
