Rub // New Drawings by Brie Moreno (London, UK/Ottawa, CA)
May 4 to 26, 2018
Opening reception: May 4, 7-9 PM, free admission
Artist talk with Brie Moreno and Joe Kessler (Breakdown Press, London UK): May 17, 7-9 PM
Possible Worlds is pleased to host Rub, the first solo exhibition of Ottawa-born, London based illustrator Brie Moreno.
Rub showcases Moreno's drawings in her latest zine of the same name, soon to be released by Zurich-based independent publishing house Nieves (www.nieves.ch).
Working in her bedroom getaway, Moreno's illustrations are made with felt tip marker on newsprint, an homage to analog techniques and folk art. The drawings in Rub appear to warp and crinkle, and with time will fade away. Contemporary references simulatenously insert themselves into her psychadelic and mutated worlds, from used nylons to archive Issey Miyake Pleats Please, to juicy grapes and their vines, to feelings of poise, anxiety, and colourful pterygotas. In Rub, one can observe vignettes of individuals bursting like a mudpot driven by nerves and zeal. Surrounded in lush patterns and green landscapes, the individuals hold their head high and dazzle through a tense grin, because why not?
