MFA Studio Art Guelph

Yan Wen Chang explores the two opposing realities of the American Dream one defined as hopeful and defiant, and the other as hopeless and desperate. Chang recalls her experiences of relocating to Toronto alone at 17 and uses them in her paintings to blur the space between the perception of this dream and its inherent realities. #openstudios #artschool #mfa #contemporarypainting #studioart #painters #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart @yanwen_____chang @uog_arts @uofg_gradstudies @uofguelph @uofgstudioart

sophia bartholomew (they/them) is non-binary person and interdisciplinary artist who uses text and textiles, found objects and photographs, performance and video to explore inter-subjectivity, reciprocity, physical fragility and decay. Their current work seeks out post-capitalist formations, drawing from the codes and conventions of rural and domestic space. #openstudios #mfa #artschool #contemporaryart #studioart ... @bartholomew.sophia @uofg_gradstudies @uofgstudioart @uofguelph @uog_arts

Chantal Khoury makes paintings that consider the potential of incident and illusion. She posits erasure as a form of accumulation by studying the methods with which history is written. Her paintings function within a culturally syncretic framework and depict inherited motifs which form unsettled topographies through gesture and overlay. @chanti.kho @uofgstudioart @uog_arts @uofguelph @edvideoguelph @uofg_gradstudies #mfa #openstudios #artschool #contemporarypainters #studioart

Over the next two weeks, we will be introducing you to the Guelph MFA Candidates. Starting with @a.rose.barbieri Alicia Barbieri works with meditative craft practices, photography and installation, to contemplate paradoxes within healing processes. Her work explores the tactile and atmospheric experiences of sound and light, emphasizing the permeability of the body, and the links between physical and mental healing. #openstudios #mfa #studioart #artschool #contemporaryart ... @uofgstudioart @uog_arts @uofg_gradstudies @uofguelph
