Erin Armstrong is a contemporary figurative artist working and living in Toronto, CA. Her work looks into the human imagination as it is expressed visually. She is particularly intrigued by the ways in which the mind can conjure and create worlds by piecing together memory, experience, and the ability of the mind’s eye to render a non-reality. She draws on the genre of portraiture as a foundation for these explorations, but chooses to depict not a person or sitter, but an atmosphere or sensation expressed inside the formal qualities of human shapes. Her ability to create work that’s both intense and playful has continued to capture the attention of collectors and galleries—Armstrong has exhibited throughout Canada, United States, and Europe. She is represented by Bau-Xi Gallery in Toronto and Vancouver, and Duran|Mashaal in Montreal.
