Reed Weir - New Works

“Sprout” 2024 Casein/oil on canvas 32x34

The works in Reed Weir’ solo exhibition were created with the intention of evoking a nostalgic essence reminiscent of vintage circus posters. Infused with vibrant colours, her paintings exude a whimsical allure, extending a warm welcome to viewers. Upon close observation, they unveil a more solemn reality, delicately weaving in subtle hints of the human condition. Much like a circus from long ago, each piece offers a promise of fantasy while carrying an undertone of a deeper reality.

Weir’s artistic process commences with an under-painted layer of casein (milk-based) paint, followed by additional layers in oils, and a finish that may include wax or damar varnish. On occasion, her works incorporate collage and gold leaf, adding layers of complexity to the visual narrative.

Reed Weir’s artworks are distinguished by their vibrancy and rich texture, resulting in pieces that emanate a luminosity that has been described as being illuminated by lightening.

Pansy Ass Ceramics Pride Edition

“In our work we explore gay male identity and culture through the medium of porcelain and the act of ornamentation. The fragility, elegance and prestige of porcelain and its traditional role in domestic life make it an exciting avenue to explore both alternative and popular themes of culture, identity and sexuality. Our work is predominantly slip-cast porcelain that we combine with hand-built elements.”

“Captivated by the possibilities of the clay I have since embarked on a journey of learning, discovery, and creation”

Célia Zveibil Brandão is a ceramic artist and educator. She is originally from São Paulo, Brazil, living and working in Toronto since 1990. She holds a degree in Graphic Design from Mackenzie University in São Paulo. Brandão has been creating functional and sculptural forms for the past 30 years. Known for her wood-fired pieces, Brandão incorporates a variety of techniques into her work. She runs the Ceramic Studio at the Miles Nadal Community Center since 1995 in addition to teaching at other studios.

My passion for the art of ceramics ignited when I was travelling through the Brazilian northeast in the late 1970’s. I came upon a small pottery village on the shores of the São Francisco river where I first saw kick wheels, and pots drying in the sun.

Winner of multiple awards, Brandão is published in three 500 series Lark Book publications and several international Ceramic Magazines. She has exhibited in Canada, USA, and her native Brazil.
