while on an art crawl on west queen west, i came across mark stebbins at the edward day gallery. each piece is incredibly intricate, with tiny brush strokes coming together to create the effect of a swoop of paint across a canvas. the paintings bring to mind an intermingling of textiles and technology, with the fragmentation seen as a distant echo of pointillism, a different take on chuck close. what is interesting is that stebbins is a male artist exploring what is usually seen as a female domain: textiles, knitting, embroidering etc. curious.
