Events Description
Marina Doukas is a Canadian painter whose vibrant works range from bold and chaotic to blended and controlled. She explores themes of self-expression perception and individuality by bringing together abstract mark-making and contemporary portraiture. She treats the paint as a tool to record her experiences with navigating femininity and all of the moments of tension and discovery that may present themselves along the way.
Marina obtained her Bachelor of Arts Honors in Studio Arts at the University of Guelph.
In this exhibition entitled “Herself” Marina places herself as an observer to the performance of gender. She reflects on the choices she and her subjects have made in order to present their gender identity to the outside world and how these decisions can affect how they are perceived in social and professional settings.
Through her paintings Marina shows that there is no right or wrong way to ‘be’ in this life and hopes to create a space where any individual can feel safe and encouraged to show up as themselves whatever that may look like. Witness these colorful explorations at the Riverdale Hub gallery.
The exhibition will be displayed on the second floor of Riverdale Hub from June 1 to July 1.
