Artists in Residence 2019
October 18th, 2019
Centre[3] is proud to present our four artists in residence for 2019. Through our annual program we support artists in creating a new body of work by offering space and resources for artistic production. Three of our artists in residence will showcase their work in a group exhibition in our main gallery February 28 – April 11, 2020. The recipient of our residency offered in partnership with COBRA (Coalition of Black and Racialized Artists) will exhibit in a solo show in our members’ gallery January 4 – February 1, 2020
Ron Siu, Monoprint
Joshua Las
Mashal Khan
Ron Siu is an artist based in Toronto, Canada and is a recipient of our emerging artist residency. Working primarily in painting and mixed-media approaches, his work circles around contemporary themes of desire and overt Romanticism. Siu graduated with his BFA in Drawing & Painting at OCAD University in 2019. He has also been in exhibitions across Canada and in Glasgow, UK
Joshua Las is a Hamilton-based artist of mixed nationality and is the recipient of our residency offered in partnership with COBRA (Coalition of Black and Racialized Artists). His Guatemalan and Canadian heritage play a crucial role in his practice. Using Mesoamerican symbolism, he re-appropriates the lens of the ethnographer as a means of reclamation, while at the same time demanding the sovereignty of Latin America.
