Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto
Notes:
Toronto-based artist Rachel MacFarlane received her BFA from OCAD University in 2008. Using a process that begins with maquettes made from collected and curated refuse, MacFarlane then arranges small-scale dioramas that serve as models for the foundation of her paintings. Within these tiny banal spaces the edge of a cardboard cup may become a barricade, a chrome mylar base presents itself as a reflective swamp, and broken matchsticks transform into an architectural monument. The manufactured settings are then transcribed into larger-scale oil paintings of abstract space-scapes rendered with imaginative use of colour, pattern and scale.
