Blueprints of a Dream | Ola Volo + Michelle Hoogveld
Opening Reception, Friday, Sept 24 6PM to 9PM (artist talk at 7:30PM). RSVP HERE
Join us for cocktails, music by DJ Jon Delerious, and a brief conversation with Ola Volo and Michelle Hoogveld. They’ll share stories from their creative journeys and the large-scale public projects that have taken their work around the world.
GFA brings together two Montreal-based artists whose practices move between the monumental and the intimate.
Known for richly layered worlds rooted in folklore, pattern and storytelling, Ola’s work moves from intimate paintings to monumental murals and collaborations with Louis Vuitton, Lululemon and Starbucks.
Born and raised in Calgary, Michelle creates luminous geometric paintings through colour, rhythm and repetition. Her public work includes a sixteen-storey Montreal mural and sculptures for Brookfield Place in New York.
In Blueprints of a Dream, that ambition and visual energy come together in original paintings made to be experienced up close and lived with.
Artist Panel, Saturday Sept 25 from 1 to 3PM
From Canvas to City Walls
Ola Volo and Michelle Hoogveld have built practices that move from intimate studio work to murals, public art and major international commissions. In this conversation, they’ll share how those opportunities came about, what changes when an idea moves from canvas to architecture, and what they’ve learned building creative careers across art, design and public space.
