Metamorphosis: Solo Exhibition by Aggie Armstrong

RevArt is proud to announce “Metamorphosis,” a solo exhibition by artist Aggie Armstrong, on view from November 1st to December 14th, 2024 at The Village Hive Eglinton. We invite you to join us for the opening reception on Friday, November 1st, from 5 to 8 pm ET.

In “Metamorphosis,” Armstrong invites viewers into her reflective journey, shaped by over 30 years of living in Canada as a Filipino immigrant. Armstrong grapples with the tension between her Filipino heritage and Canadian identity. Is she truly Canadian? Or is she still, at her core, Filipino? Her questions of belonging have only amplified with the birth of her daughter. Has she shared enough of her Filipino heritage, or is it slipping away? These questions have led her to revisit her memories, though she wonders if time has romanticized the past and blurred the lines of her identity.

Armstrong’s paintings embody these struggles. Her vibrant portraits of women exude confidence through posture, yet their eyes are always obscured. The stories behind these mysterious figures beckon to be uncovered, resonating with personal memories and shared experiences. Armstrong’s art is an invitation—it calls us to participate in our own metamorphosis as we navigate the fluidity of identity and self-perception.
