A painting by local visual artist Lora Pallister. Lora's paintings are the inspiration for a unique photo session we are working on with FO Photography. Lora Pallister's paintings are so beautiful, you just want to climb inside them - and now you can!   I-D Bohemia will create a stunning backdrop inspired by the colourful, textured work of Stantec Artist of the Year Lora Pallister for an exclusive photo session with FO Photography on October 21, 2019 at The Art of Cake. Come with your makeup done and Lily Grey Artistry will touch it up for you. Or, come with foundation, eyes, and mascara. Touch-ups include powder, blush, and lipstick. Book your spot for a truly unique photo session with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts. From thenina.ca: Lora Pallister is a versatile visual artist with a keen sense of colour. She works each painting intensively over long periods of time, concentrating on small sections to create a quilt-like tapestry of colour on the canvas. With each painting, Lora experiments with different techniques while also strengthening her own intuitive colour sense. Lora is an artist at the Nina and has participated in several workshops  and special projects. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo shows throughout Edmonton. In addition to her painting practice, Lora participates in the Nina’s dance program and performed in the annual recital of the Nina Dancers in 2019. @ninahaggertyarts @fo_photography @idbohemia @stantec @theartofcakeyeg @lilygreyartistry @weddingsbyanika #yeg #yegevents #yegarts #yegartist #yegbuzz  #igyeg #abstractart #modernpainting #modernart #painting #acrylicpainting #canadiancreatives #canadianart #contemporaryart #lifeincolor #ihavethisthingwithcolor #nothingisordinary #creativityfound #art #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #idbohemia #fundraiser #fundraising #givingtuesday #giveback #community (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3YfR4kgjZO/?igshid=1qcyj1bt7h4ux

Detail from graphite rubbing on Japanese cotton paper, 12in × 14in (framed). You may recognise the pattern of expanded metal mesh here; many of my rubbings are of grate, metal and mesh surfaces. I've lived in Edmonton all my life, and my Dad's career in oil and gas (and later aerospace), meant industrial materials have been an ubiquitous presence since childhood. I have a deep affection for them. The discussions around climate change and fossil fuels, and the downturn in our local economy, have me wondering what the local landscape will look like in 50 years. It's interesting to think of these rubbings as a record of things that may not exist forever. This piece is currently on display in Orion's Nest, a luxury home in Strathcona in the River Valley. All the works I've hung are available for purchase, either through the interior designer L.I. Interiors @lorn_iseke, or me directly. I have a book on site with price list, bio, artist statement, C.V., and contact info. If you're interested in viewing the work, please DM me and I will set up an appointment for us.

I've been doing art for a while, but have only begun showing my work in the last few years, so it's a nice feeling to have a new venue for my work. I'll be displaying paintings and jewellery, and they will be available for purchase after the show.

Detail from graphite rubbing on Japanese cotton paper, 12in × 14in (framed). One of a series of six, with a few more in the works, pending framing. Part of what I like about this simple technique is its ability to reveal forms and textures not readily apparent at first glance, and how those characteristics are reduced to their essentials. My work is often about contrasts and relationships, and translation of a surface to black and white is one of the most fundamental visual relationships. This piece is currently on display in Orion's Nest, a luxury home in Strathcona in Edmonton's River Valley.

The 2nd floor hall, with a series of graphite rubbings on Japanese cotton paper. At 12in × 14in framed, these are a bit smaller than I might typically hang in a space this size, but they work with the house's minimalist feel and set up a nice rhythm leading to the bedrooms. I'll be posting a couple close ups of the work here in the coming days to close this Insta-series. All the works I've hung are available for sale, either through the the interior designer L.I. Interiors @lorn_iseke, or me directly. I have a book on site with price list, bio, artist statement, C.V., and contact info.

Graphite rubbing on Japanese cotton paper, seen here in situ. Dimensions approx. 12in × 14in, framed. This is hanging on a narrow bit of wall in between a large picture window and a corner. When I'm working with clients on art curation and placement, I often suggest unexpected places to hang art, such as the leftover spaces between windows and doors and above doorways. Balancing larger displays on feature walls and more intimate placements in smaller areas helps a collection feel more dynamic. This also opens up more possibilities for hanging art without the overall collection feeling crowded. In this home, spacing is especially important, as the designer @lorn_iseke is going for a very disciplined, clean, crisp feeling. From an art placement perspective, that means the art needs a lot of room to breathe--think New York white cube, over small town picture shop. I love both looks, but when there is lots of art to display, it can be challenging to maintain that generous, open feeling. At the same time, because this is a home and not a business, to hang all the art gallery-style could feel a bit cold. Here, I aimed for a balance between cohesion and flow. Hanging most of the pieces centred at 59in gives structure to the collection, while some unusual placements add variety and character.

Graphite rubbing on Japanese cotton paper. I forget the exact dimensions, but I think the frame opening is 8in × 10in, so the frame should be about 12in × 14in. Capturing textures with graphite is an old and simple concept; crayon rubbings were some of the first crafts I remember in school. But having done over 100 of these to produce this series, I was surprised how different textures translate to paper. You can achieve a lot of variety depending on rubbing medium, paper weight and texture, texture surface characteristics (hardness, sharpness, depth), pressure, and consistency. I like how meditative these feel, and how a such a straightforward technique can yield an image that still feels vaguely technological. I believe this was a screendoor, but it looks like static or a QR code. If I recall correctly this came from my godmother's house. She has since passed from pancreatic cancer, and her house is with another owner. This would be one of the few mementos I have of that house, that I grew up in and loved. It feels good that I made something, even if kind of by accident, that reminds me of such a happy place. All the works I've hung are available for sale, either through the the interior designer L.I.

In addition to my paintings, I hung a series of 6 graphite rubbings on Japanese cotton paper. This is a pair hanging in the main living area. As with the paintings, these are all available for sale, and at a lower price point for a collector who is starting out and looking for an affordable entryway into original art. The home where they are displayed is listed via Jeffrey Scott Real Estate, and available to rent for events and stays via Airbnb. It is built for art lovers, with expansive white walls and lots of light. Events they've hosted range from wedding receptions and family gatherings to executive poker weekends. If you love modern homes as I do, I encourage you to check out the real estate and Airbnb listings, as the home is so beautiful, peaceful and serene, and great for entertaining!
