Attended the opening vernissage at Drip House (Parkdale location) for the debut of Conor Brisard‘s exhibition called Figuring It Out.
About the exhibition:
The main inspiration and focus from these works are mental health, pop culture, and “the dance between chaos and harmony,” as the artist puts it.
Conor’s inspirations range anywhere from neo-expressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquiat to Ornette Coleman’s 1959 album “The Shape of Jazz to Come.” His use of colours and textures creates a vibrant visual experience which is original to his raw and energetic style, and is sure to invite viewers to explore the depth of his art.
Each painting represents a strong range of emotions and vulnerability expressed through the avant-garde work, which becomes a visual exploration of everyday internal struggles. The highs, and lows, and the delicate balance between work and play.
