ERIN ARMSTRONG
b. 1990, CanadaErin Armstrong (b. 1990 in Toronto, Canada) is a contemporary figurative artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her work looks into the human imagination as it is expressed visually. She is particularly intrigued by how the mind can conjure and create worlds by piecing together memories, experiences, and the mind’s ability to render non-reality. She draws on the genre of portraiture as a foundation for these explorations. Still, she chooses to depict not a person or sitter, but an atmosphere or sensation expressed inside the formal qualities of human shapes.
Armstrong’s work has been collected and exhibited extensively in North America, Europe, and recently in Asia.
