Upon A Star: Solo Exhibition by Corbin Elliot
to
Corbin Elliot is an emerging artist based in North Bay, specializing in contemporary painting approaches that idealize, confront or conceptualize fated aspects of our shared reality. Where his canvas becomes a personal journalistic excavation, such paintings inevitably come to reflect and interpret a unified humanity.
Immersive in the sense of their execution, Elliot's works introduce novel techniques and sculptural paint application to transcend the painting's two-dimensional plane and dismantle the boundaries between image and the viewer's position.
At its core, 'Upon a Star', honours the range of human experiences as indebted to a life of continuous growth and transformation. The artist reminds us that while tomorrow is never promised, hope and beauty will always surround us in some way. Woven together through repeated iconography and symbolism, he creates a visual language that speaks to the surreal nature of our lives and eternally liminal presence amongst the stars we reside.
