Aline Setton
ARTIST - IN - RESIDENCE
DATES: AUG 19 - SEP 4 2024
Having grown up in Sao Paolo, Brazil before moving to Toronto in 2017, the distinction between rural and urban has become a major theme in her work. Setton constructs dynamic, emotional art that creates meaning through juxtaposition, through its points of tension and release, exploring how a space in Toronto can trigger memories of a space in Sao Paolo, and beyond, in a globalized world. Setton’s art process is a rigorous, structured study intersection. First, she collects an archive of imagery tied to a theme, some personal some not, and looks to find contrasts and connections. She then takes these analog images and edits them digitally, adjusting colours and contexts and thus merging the boundaries of the real and the surreal. Ultimately, Setton is looking for a combination of images that will create the most powerful emotional response in her art.
