About the Item
Abstract artist Fiona Ackerman continues to be inspired by the staggering beauty of the natural world. In this lush, colourful botanical-themed composition the genus of the plant family ficus is featured. The Vancouver-based artist’s work explores colour, texture and pattern using graffiti, stencils and brushwork. This composition in a square format has layered organic shapes in a rich combination of deep greens, blues, purples, black, gray and white. One in a series.
“I realized that my botanical paintings were not really about nature but about my relationship to nature, my curiosity. My experience of nature as an outsider. About my hunger to understand nature. To feel at home in nature. My desire to love it and want to protect it rather than fear it.” Fiona Ackerman
Originally from Montreal, Fiona Ackerman studied painting at Concordia University and completed a BFA at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2002. She has held more than 20 solo exhibitions internationally. Fiona’s studio practice extends beyond painting to include several large-scale murals, video and other public art projects. In her free time, she writes and records music and videos, often working with other musicians. She currently lives and works in Vancouver BC.

Fiona Ackerman
Originally from Montreal, Fiona Ackerman studied paintings at Concordia University and completing a BFA at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2002. She currently lives and works in Vancouver BC and exhibits her work internationally (Canada, Europe, USA, UK and Asia). Fiona’s studio practice extends beyond painting to include several large-scale murals, video projections and other public art projects. In her free time, she writes and records music and videos, often working collaboratively with other musicians. Rooted in abstraction, I want to push my work in divergent directions, to surprise myself, and keep the possibilities for my painting wide open. Working in series, I develop a stylistic language specific to the mood or conceptual objectives I'm working on. Over the years, my work has seen many different stylistic evolutions. I see my arc of work much like that of an author. Each series is like a new book, different in tone, style, and story. But they are all part of a larger archive, and each a meaningful piece of the whole. - Ackerman

Zen Garden - bright, floral, impasto, abstract expressionist, acrylic on canvas
By Adam Cohen
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Rendered in pink, lemon, green, and blue this abstract painting with a floral motif is by Adam Cohen.
Thickly applied expressive brushstrokes in a bright palette bring a palpable energy to this lively, joyful painting that resembles a floral tapestry.
Cohen likes to cut into wet paint with a palette knife to create visible texture.
Pink, lemon, green, and blue flower petals overlap one another in a luscious visual display.
“… I like abstract painting. I can create accidents. And then I can edit in or out what I like. Use them as a springboard. A place to build the rest of the painting around. I create paintings that feel deeply personal to me. Somehow I always know when they are done.” Adam Cohen
“A painting by Adam Cohen is like a sudden burst of light. Vision is dazzled by a surface alive with color, swarming with incident. As you approach the canvas, it feels as if it were coming forward to meet you, to immerse you in a field of visual energy.” Carter Ratcliff, Art Critic
Adam Cohen studied at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art and lived and painted in Rome for a year. After many successful years as an illustrator in NYC, he returned to his first love...
