Sharon Dembo

SHARON DEMBO Pont L'Abbé d'Arnoult Acrylic on paper 25" x 20" $950
Sharon Dembo is a visual artist and child psychotherapist living in Toronto. She has been painting for over twenty five years, not only in Toronto but also in France, Italy, Mexico and both coasts of Canada. Most of her landscapes are painted “en plein air” as Sharon enjoys responding to the immediacy and intensity of this experience. Sharon feels very influenced by the impressionist and expressionist art movement.

In the past 10 years, Sharon has focused on printmaking:  She feels a fascination with the various printmaking techniques and the freedom they give her to explore her interest in dance and movement. Her work frequently uses textures and vibrant colours to express these dynamic gestures. Sharon compares her work in this medium to that of a child at play: a chance to be curious, inquisitive, serious and creative.

Sharon has been exhibiting and selling her work in a number of venues in Toronto over the past several years.

Artist Statement: I am fascinated by the traces we leave and the traces we pick up from our surroundings. I also delight in textures that I encounter in my environment. In this body of work, I have used the medium of the encaustic monotype. I decided to begin by making rubbings on  surfaces with a variety of papers, from the wonderful woodwork at Bar Raval and a place that I recently visited in Mexico. To these marks I have added my own marks using a “Hotbox” (as designed by Paula Roland). I applied the wax paints onto this hot surface layering, meandering, adding and subtracting. I then used my paper to imprint the image. It felt very much like the child who explores an idea through play: free and open to wherever it might lead. The resulting images express the flow and movement in our lives: At times harmonious, at other times dissonant, often colourful and always full of surprises.
