​Frances Ferdinands Feed Me, Free Me, 2005, Acrylic on Canvas, 23" x 31"

Exhibition: July 16 - August 13, 2017
​Opening Reception:  July 16 @ 2-4 pm

Frances Ferdinands: Connective Threads brings together many past and recent painting projects for the first time.  For three decades, Ferdinands’ paintings have explored food, cultural belonging, difference, and women in society.  She incorporates elements of her Sri Lankan heritage and touches on themes related to colonialism, cultural identity and migration.  As an accomplished painter, Ferdinands creates works that are sometimes ironic, allegorical or witty. She merges popular culture and art history with the world around her and, in so doing, heightens the discontinuities of life in Canada.

Sri Lankan born, Canadian trained artist, Frances Ferdinands has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Paris, Bogota, Honolulu, the continental U.S. and across Canada.  Her work is found in corporate, private and public collections including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Judith & Norman Alix Gallery, and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.  Her paintings are featured in two art books: Rethinking Acrylic and Acrylic Innovation: 60 Visionary Artists.  Originally from Toronto, she currently lives and has her studio east of Toronto in the Northumberland Hills.  Recently she was the winner of the Royal Canadian Mint competition to design the 2017 Diwali Commemorative Coin.
