Haylee Fortin - An Assemblage of Natural Things
Haylee Fortin, Clark’s Nutcracker, 24x30”, Oil and acrylic on canvas
For April, we are welcoming local artist Haylee Fortin to The Carrot Gallery.
Stop by The Carrot on May 2, 2019 from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm for the Opening Reception of Haylee Fortin's "An Assemblage of Natural Things"
These paintings focus largely on collages of local flora and fauna. Re-contextualizing and isolating the figures in new or unnatural environments brings attention to their form and expressiveness. The compositions play with perceptions of nature and our interactions with the wild.
Haylee Fortin is an emerging artist based in Edmonton, Alberta and graduate of the University of Alberta BFA program. Fortin's work involves collecting and fragmenting media from online sources which are then reworked through collage, painting and new media.
