About the Item
Using photography and drawing, Diana Thorneycroft often explores the darker side of supposedly innocent or benign objects like dolls, toys and cartoon characters. Past series include close-up photographs of dolls’ mouths and pencil drawings of Disney characters in murderous or violent situations; her earliest exhibited work provided provocative and similarly eerie self-portraits. Thorneycroft’s more recent Group of Seven Awkward Moments series depicts plastic figurines in comedic yet dramatic situations; staged in front of reproductions of Group of Seven paintings, and sometimes based on anecdotes of that same group, the works deconstruct the pristine Canadian landscape as depicted in the paintings—as well as some art-historical myths around same. Thorneycroft received her BFA from the University of Manitoba in 1979 and her MA from the University of Wisconsin in 1980. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris. She has received numerous awards and grants, and her work is in the collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, among other institutions.

- Cover FlowBy Jakub DolejšLocated in Montreal, QuebecJakub Dolejš Text by James D. Campbell That a photographer’s guile can make for a heady and instructive aesthetic experience is proved by the remarkable work of Jakub Dolejš. His ongoing practice of deception now encompasses some of the formal language of late Modernism, and his palette is almost hallucinatory in its clarity. Dolejš carries forwards his project of tracking his and our relationship with artworks by invoking Modernist tropes and the monochrome, and delights in undermining our commonplace assumptions about just what it is that we are seeing. His deliberate puncturing of his viewers’ assumptive contexts lends his work subversive underpinnings and a dangerous perceptual edge. It is as though he was asking us to look at his photographs through an anamorphic polyprism – and the prism shows us the splintering of our own reflections staring right back at us in a very predatory way. The level of subterfuge here is at a very high level. As adept a painter as he is a photographer, Dolejš has achieved an enviable reputation for performing some masterful and edifying pirouettes – everything from photographing a painted set to recreate Johann Zoffany’s The Tribuna of the Uffizi (a painting of the northeast section of the Tribuna room in the Uffizi in Florence, Italy, 1772-1778) to recontextualizing Hogarth’s Marriage...Category
