Executed with raw, textured brushwork, Lonn's work focuses upon the dialectic between the surface of the painting and the emerging image.
Painting is a way of mediating.
Other technologies don't allow for this direct relationship. Howard Lonn is an emerging Toronto artist. Since grsduating from the Ontario College of Art in 1981, his work has been included in exhibitions at Gallery 76, Toronto. This is the artist's second solo exhibition. Most of the images, blurred behind layers of carefully careening brush strokes, resist clear-cut definitions.
