Tessar Lo’s ‘past, present, past-present’

Tomorrow, Friday March 30th, Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto (formerly Show and Tell gallery) will debut the latest body of work by artist Tessar Lo. Entitled 'past, present, past-present,' Lo's dreamy and expressionistic paintings seem to merge the subconscious with waking life, an endless and fragmented amalgamation of thoughts, instinct and feeling rife with symbolism. Portrayed with a palate that is simultaneously subdued and explosive, Lo's work appears to easily accomplish what most artists strive for, a free flowing look into both the undercurrents of his mind and the whimsical nature of his heart. Get a look at the new work, as well as the new sculptural edition who's release coincides with the opening, after the jump. - Ken Harman

Madsen’s narrative, semi-autobiographic paintings frequently position young adults inside spaces made for children.
