JOANNE TOD "BRASS ENTRY" WATERCOLOR, 2025
Joanne Tod (b. 1953) is a renowned Canadian painter acclaimed for her unwavering approach to realism, technical precision, and critical wit. She is also one of the country's most celebrated living portrait artists.
During Covid, Tod (re)discovered watercolors. Despite the challenges of this period, Tod had an incredibly fruitful experience as she enthusiastically experimented with the medium. This unforgiving material has enabled the artist to be more spontaneous and playful, without compromising the technical proficiency she is known for.
Like the best of her work, "Brass Entry" is depicted in Tod's signature brand of soft realism. She emphasizes the highly reflective surface of two brass doors, tucked away in the corner of an ornate lobby. With veined stone flooring, textured purple walls, and a coffered ceiling, even the corner is ornate. Reflected in the doors are three elevators.
The elaborate ornamentation coming through despite Tod's choice of medium. Doors and hallways are reoccurring motifs in Tod's work. They function as both portals and symbols of mystery and control.
Joanne Tod's works can be found in most major public institutions across Canada, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), and the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal.
