Art speaks to me in a way that sooths my soul. Whisperings quietly to my inner self, allowing my senses and imagination to walk hand in hand with creation. Art can be a mystical experience for both the creator and the viewer. If you are fortunate to own a painting that gives you this entangled energy, you are blessed with a pleasure that is difficult to describe to those who have not walked this path.
I suspect that this is partly the reason so many are drawn to international art shows such as the Artists Project in Toronto. If you missed it, an opportunity was lost to see work and meet the artists who created it. The artists speak of the creation energy that compelled them to put brush to canvas. They have experienced the mystery of creation, and interpreted it for you, expressing it so elegantly in a visual form.

Anya Droug interprets personal sequence of episodes; segments; moments that are otherwise ordinary and could pass by unnoticed and places them on canvas. People, emotions and objects experienced and explored on her journeys are analyzed through her work. A sculpture, a fragment of architecture, a person glimpsed on the street.

Jennifer Zeitz is an artist who lives and works in Toronto, Canada, who recently showed at the Artist Project. Her works in red stopped me in my tracks. I had to pause and immerse myself in the luscious pallet she has chosen. She has an entire series of painting titled “Red” which in case you haven’t noticed yet, is the color of this article.

Suzanne Burden works with Red, one of her favorite colors. She boldly states “it creates conflicts within me between my judgement and my self-confidence. My collection of paintings 'Reds' was born from a desire to imagine myself in a world where red is admired and accepted for only its beauty while exhibiting its spirit and its purpose for the emotions, senses, and feelings.”
