Toronto-based Sarah Joncas returns to Thinkspace Project, having first exhibited with the gallery in 2009 when she was only 19 years old. Since then, her accomplished work has developed technically and conceptually, garnering international attention for its moody stylization and emotive impact. Now, she brings ‘Upon Another Shore’, her latest collection of works displaying primarily female subjects that function as alter egos or symbolic avatars for social, psychological, and personal themes. In this show, the figurative becomes a vehicle for more existential and constructivist emphases, an armature around which to posit narrative suggestions and symbolic inferences. Always striving to create a moment of discomposure or tension in her works, Joncas aestheticizes with melancholy and melodrama, tapping into an emotionally charged visual spectrum. Highly refined areas of figurative rendering, like the lush skin tones she achieves with oils, are combined with elements of a more graphic sensibility, executed in acrylics, to establish compelling visual tensions between realistic dimensional space and flattened stylization, which nods to her roots in illustration and animation. An early interest in animé and manga, as well as in those neo-noir cinematic references aforementioned, helped to galvanize Joncas’ interest in character-based works. Often posited in heightened emotional contexts, her protagonists are framed by suspenseful allusions to an overarching story or caught in the midst of ambiguous or invisible unfolding scenes. This penchant for plot, mystery, and symbolism is captured in moments of dynamic stillness in which action is both suggested and seized. The surrounding elements in her works, whether animals, objects or patterns, take on concomitant meanings, further reinforcing the larger thematic intimations of her works. ‘Upon Another Shore’ opens this Saturday, July 8 with a reception from 6-10pm. @sarah_joncas #sarahjoncas #popsurrealism #newcontemporaryart #thinkspacegallery

Reen Barrera returns to Thinkspace Projects with his latest solo show, marking his biggest undertaking to date with our gallery. With an array of new works on canvas alongside a new collection of his signature hand made sculptures, Barrera has created a show that is light and playful, while brimming with profound meaning and deep emotion. With ‘Emotional Meat’, Barrera explores the contemporary generation’s frantic demand for struggles and hustles. As many are fixated on succeeding, motivated by individualistic rationalities, often a disregard for the important aspect of one’s existence comes to light. Imploring audiences to find their true pack, embrace family–whether chosen or genetic–Barrera reminds us to take a break from the grind and pay attention to what is truly important. “The memories, events, and essences that surround our lives that are often ignored are the ones that usually should be given importance. To hold dear with all our might.” In line with his previous work, Barrera has taken the idiom “it’s written all over your face” to heart and beyond, crafting his work around a central character he created early on in his career as an artist. Ohlala embodies Barrera’s thoughts, displaying them through a variety of colors painted on the being’s face. This serves as a mechanism to silently communicate, focusing on the unspoken rather than what is loud and clear. ‘Emotional Meat’ opens next Saturday, July 8 with a reception from 6-10pm @reerustart #reenbarrera #popsurrealism #newcontemporaryart #thinkspacegallery

Repost @amyluuwong | awesome to catch up today with you and @mrjasperwong | @worldwidewalls mini reunion “There’s so much to express, but simplicity allows the space to speak for itself. @thinkspace_art, your incredible journey brings me immense joy. Remembering our first meeting at your previous location, where I introduced myself on behalf of World Wide Walls (formerly POW! WOW! Hawaii), it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come. Congratulations on your stunning and expansive new space at Thinkspace Projects. It’s truly the finest gallery I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for sharing your space during this transitional period for your upcoming show.
