Toronto Studs by Evin Collis

Meet the artists:

Dani Crosby is a graduate of the Sheridan BAA Illustration program, 2009, and is currently based in Oshawa Ontario. She generously donated her print illustrations at the Regenesis Art and Eco fashion show last month in September, helping to raise funds for their urban ecovillage project. She is back again, to inspire and give back. “I put personality directly into my work, my emotions, and twisted sense of humor so that I can create strong visual messages that words alone cannot convey. Through my work I love to make people from all walks of life think, and smile, and understand. Visual communication touches people, crosses barriers and brings us together. I believe visual art is powerful enough to change anything from a person's perception of a brand to a person's perception of the world at large. I enjoy the building process behind each illustration, communicating with clients, listening to and fulfilling their visual communication needs. This is my passion.”


Andrea Manica is a second year Illustration student at The Ontario College of Art and Design. She is inspired by animals, nature, fabric and photographs. She loves making things by hand - sewing, gluing, printing and pressing. She feels a passion to give and to help, and to share her gifts with others.


dAeve Fellows’ works are tightly detailed journeys into his personal unconscious mythology, his world of dreams and subliminal musings. Impressions of dark urban conduits and timeless landscapes are impregnated by demonic entities, whimsical machinery, and cryptical masses of dripping viscera.The works presented for '350 Time Capsule"were created partly as a vehicle to explore the artist's confusions and frustrations with modern life and thus projected though dirty lenses of trans-humanism and the post-surrealist. Using his established world as a stage, he presents to us deconstructed and modified versions of ourselves and our environment in order to express the emotional states and sentiments felt by the artist in modern utopia.


Krista Fogel presents “conversation with nature”. A slideshow of photographs she has taken in an attempt to “slow down and appreciate her like a sister”. The photographs convey deep reflections through a presentation of photographs and accompanying poetry that she has written to convey this relationship. The poetry will be made available through the projection booth of the gallery, where guests can enter into the intimacy of her thoughts, while watching the accompanying photographs from the main event wall.

Evin Collis was born and raised in the prairie city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Currently, he is completing his 4th year of Fine Arts at the Ontario College of Art and Design here in Toronto and is majoring in Painting and Drawing. Collis’ work has been exhibited in Winnipeg, Toronto, Italy and Ottawa.

Claudia Rodriguez-Larrain is a visionary, activist and artist. She is also co-founder and President of The Regenesis Project. Incorporating only used and recycled materials into her artwork, her work focuses on raising awareness on social, environmental, and humanitarian issues, what she calls “ decollaged parts of a single paradigm”. Her pieces include a conceptual or physical decollage of these issues. She began experimenting with what she terms “interactive conceptualism”, because “its aim is to engage the perceived idea into action”, during rallies and protests, where she says “You have to get their attention first, by creating dissonance; sensory stimuli that doesn’t fit into the space.” Her work will feature decollaged paintings on recycled canvass, from public advertisements, as a political statement “against the rise of mass corporatism at the expense of our most vulnerable resources”. This art technique became an art form as early as 1949, and the term was coined in avant-garde journals by Emilio Villa in 1955. Her work will also feature a mobile installation of a current campaign called vote out fluoride, to create awareness on Fluoride’s toxicity to planet and organism, through its addition and consumption from Toronto’s public water.
