Coming Soon — Olivia Brouwer: The Scales That Fall From Our Eyes

Our Emerging Artist-in-residence Olivia Brouwer @olivetreeonthemount is in our digital studio taking some documentation photos of her work, which will be on display in our Main Gallery starting June 3, 2022. Read below to know more about Olivia:

Olivia Brouwer is an award-winning emerging artist from Cambridge, Ontario. In 2016, she graduated from the Art and Art History joint program, specializing in painting and printmaking, at the University of Toronto Mississauga and Sheridan College. Since then, her work has been exhibited in a number of shows across Southern Ontario, some of which include the Blackwood Gallery, the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, and the Robert Kananaj Gallery in collaboration with Emerging Young Artists. She was a recent recipient of the Centre[3] Emerging Artist Residency program and the Artist Residency program at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton, Ontario (2020-2021). In 2021, she was one of 52 finalists for the Salt Spring National Art Prize, an award winner of the City of Hamilton Creator Award, as well as one of 5 finalists for the JRG Emerging Artist Award

As a partially blind artist, Brouwer explores the idea of blindness through her art, melding organic and geometric abstraction with scenes inspired by natural organisms and spiritual teachings relating to vision from both a metaphorical and literal sense. She translates the concept of blindness into a symbol, using it to examine ideas surrounding belief, meaning, clarity, and sight. Her most recent work explores various encounters with art which activate human senses, enabling an inclusive experience for both visually impaired and sighted viewers.

Image Description: Olivia is standing behind the camera. She is documenting her work by taking a photograph of her work. This artwork will be part of the upcoming exhibition.
