JOANNE TOD "TERPINEOL" 2019
Joanne Tod (b. 1953) is a renowned Canadian artist 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.
Between 2018-2019, Tod's oeuvre focuses on the notion of duality. Considering composition, human nature, and meaning, she was partly inspired by an act of self-reflection after taking an ancestry test. This notion manifests in Tod's treatment of reflective surfaces, and sometimes with her reflected presence in paintings.
"Terpineol" is an alluring artwork that highlights Tod's ability to conjure forth a discrete interval in time in paint visual. With a combination of copper and dusty purple, the image glows and shifts as it's viewed. The softness of the paint application draws viewers in, and the texture and light across shifting surfaces holds their attention. Similar to losing oneself in the deep space of Tod's interior paintings, this work offers a scintillating textural symphony of paint, light, and color to explore at length.
Tod's luminous ceiling tile paintings appear, on first glance, as precious objects. Upon closer inspection, the jewel-like surfaces seem to dissolve into an abstract arrangement of loose brushstrokes. This shift transports viewers to Tod's studio, emphasizing her painterly command and precise control of the medium.
In magnifying common design elements, Tod anoints these quotidian surfaces with elevated status. In contrast, her forced perspective shift emphasizes the misleading allure of the shiny surfaces. Contextualized against contemporary culture, she investigates values that have ultimately been distorted and skewed.
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.
