Driscolls’ vision to capture his paintings in a way that gave them a sense of their physical presence made way for an unusual collaboration between painter and photographer. Enter Finn O’Hara, a respected Toronto-based photographer and director whose penchant for wilderness and deft storytelling eye seemed to Driscoll a perfect fit for the ambitious project he’d envisioned. This crazy scheme entailed photographing Driscoll’s paintings in a variety of outdoor locations, ranging from a skateboarding rink, to a busy downtown street, to suspended above a river. The genesis of Giving Context, a collaboration between painter Steve Driscoll and photographer Finn O’Hara, is a great example of the magic that can happen when two inventive minds merge.
Jen Mann

| Satin Doll, Jen Mann, oil on canvas, 55 x 65", 2017 |

This will be the first solo exhibition of Canadian artist Jen Mann at Winsor Gallery. Jen Mann views her paintings as physical and visual manifestations of ideas rather than as products. Within her work Mann toys with color saturation and hue to expose previously unseen details and challenge conventional notions of beauty and intimacy, revealing the hidden magic in otherwise awkward images. Using imagery and symbols we are familiar with along with her dry and self satirical humour, Mann is able to address our society’s hypocritical and flawed projections of love and desire.
