ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I’m preoccupied with the language of images. I have created a new style of Collage comprised of digital photographs that I cut and manipulate into compositions. The original photographs are captured from urban and industrial sources and they utilize base elements of colour, light and form. They have been described by others as “neo-cubist” or “post-dadaist” but I prefer to name them simply, “puzzle images,” that call out for the psychological or emotional interpretation of the viewer.

Artist, filmmaker, Jonny Silver was born in Toronto. He studied art, philosophy and literature at St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas (on an athletic scholarship) then returned to Toronto to attend the Ontario College of Art & Design where he studied under some of Canada’s most celebrated visual artists. As a student, he won awards for his work in sculpture, installation art and experimental film. His art education included an assistantship with cubist painter, Arthur Langlet (pupil of cubism founder Georges Braque) at Atelier International de Séguret in southern France. Silver had solo shows of his experimental films and video at A Space, Toronto, Ed Video, Guelph, and at the Canadian Embassy, Belgrade, Serbia. His film work was featured in group-shows at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, Canada House, London, and the Goethe Institute, Berlin. He followed a filmmaking career starting at the National Film Board of Canada, the producer of his experimental music film, Kubota, then continuing as a freelance director in both the English and French sectors of the Canadian Film/TV industry. He specialized in Crime-TV and Performing Arts Specials. His work took him across Canada, throughout Europe, to Central America and the Middle East. While working in prime time, Silver continued producing his own art-house projects including features, Lonely Child, 1989, and Pio And The Cracks, 2005, documentary, L’heure Zulu, 1999, psychodrama, Rue d'Enfer, 2007, dance film, Ecstasy Forbidden, 2010, and installation film, Return Of The Cubes, 2017, all of which gained wide international exposure. Silver’s image-making included a body of work in digital photography and collage. His photo-compositions have been featured in art books, web-based projects and group exhibitions including the Dada Reboot show at Toronto’s 2012 Nuit Blanche and the 2015 Liquid Rooms show at the Palazzo Ca’Zinardi in Venice. Silver spent 2013 teaching Photography and Visual Aesthetics at the Ciné Institute in Jacmel, Haiti, from where he authored a book of field notes and photographs entitled, A Season in Haiti. “Site Crew”, his creative partnership with designer, Len Rydahl, has produced Udotimeshape, 2015, an installation for a musical concert, Sails, 2018, an art roof installation for a Bistro in Toronto’s Little Italy, and Return of the Cubes, 2017, a multidisciplinary gallery installation of sculpture, digital art and video at the Bauhaus2digital Gallery in Toronto.
