Events Description

 

Terra Incognita, meaning “unknown land,” once described the uncharted spaces on old maps—territories filled with both danger and wonder. This exhibition invites viewers on a journey into these mysterious realms, exploring self-discovery and self-knowledge through connection with the natural world.

About the Artist
Laura Thipphawong is a Toronto-based contemporary artist, writer, and historian. She has exhibited art and presented her research internationally in commercial and non-profit galleries and various academic forums. Her surreal and narrative style of highly detailed and imaginative compositions is inspired by folklore, literature, history, science, and psychoanalysis. These various elements are pieced together to create dream-like images and hallucinatory tableaus that symbolically reflect Laura’s interpretation of emotions and experiences.

As a self-taught artist, Laura made her way from a small town in northern Ontario to Toronto to pursue a career in the arts. She now holds a medal and a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Critical studies from OCAD University and a Master of Arts in Art History from the University of Toronto.

Laura’s work has been featured in several galleries, exhibition spaces, and publications such as CBC Arts, New Visionary Magazine, the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite in Toronto, and the National Gallery of Canada. She is also the founder and editor-in-chief of Secret Door, an online publication for critical arts writing.
