ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The kind of sleep that takes you to another dimension where you’re free to explore the parts of you that don’t exist in this world. You come back from this dreamland with a fresh outlook, a renewed sense of energy and excitement for life, knowing you can never go back to the exact same place, but grateful that you’ll forever be changed. ______ The Dreamscape collection is inspired by the intangible way we experience past memories and recall dreams. When you’re actively dreaming, it’s impossible to distinguish imagination from reality. The subconscious presents this dreamscape dimension vividly: shapes are defined, faces are recognizable and settings are clear - but after waking and reflecting on the narrative, everything that seemed solid and realistic suddenly seems hazy, uncertain, unclear. Memories are like this, too. Depending on our perspective, or the mood we’re in when we conjour them, memories are ever-shifting: they can move from sweet to sour, from truth to lie, the extreme moments stand out from the mundane. Both dreams and memories exist in the extremes. They’re usually labelled in our minds as clear vs. confusing, good vs. bad, joyful vs. painful…but this is simply our human experience attempting to make the most sense of a subconscious experience. In reality, both recollections are held together by a baseline of “grey area”. This collection serves to explore the tenuous tie that binds paradox, and how it is whimsical and fleeting in its existence, ever-changing and dynamic.

Tania LaCaria is an Italian-Canadian artist. LaCaria has traveled the world extensively, gathering inspiration from various cultures and countries where she’s lived, namely in Latin America and South East Asia. Her travels have always influenced her work in art and design and continue to be an important source of inspiration for her work. She returned to Canada and settled in Hamilton in 2016, where she currently lives and works as a full time artist. LaCaria’s work explores the concept of paradox - the idea that conflicting realities exist at the exact same time - focusing on themes based in gender, sexuality, social structure/class systems, body politics and relationships through an Abstract Expressionist aesthetic. LaCaria's interest in creating art is rooted in her mission to connect with others and build community. Her work is introspective and vulnerable as she paints about her own life experiences; but in an attempt to normalize the perceived "bad" emotions that people experience as a result of difficult life situations, LaCaria's work presents as vibrant, playful and approachable. LaCaria is represented by the Art Gallery of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada. Her work is held in private collections throughout the USA and Canada.
