Digital duos
Kabat Wrobel Gallery, Toronto
Recent Toronto Cityscapes, by Pat Fleisher. Photo artist Fleisher was born and raised in Toronto, where she is well known as the publisher/editor of Artfocus Magazine. She mixes two versions of each locality in a single frame to create a ''duo'', or banner-like image that captures the inherent historicity of each location. In many of her photos she captures not only what is in front but also what is around her – the subconscious cultural milieu we are part of.
Photo artist Pat Fleisher was born and raised in Toronto, where she is well known as the publisher/editor of Artfocus Magazine, a contemporary periodical of the visual arts, founded in 1992.
The theme of this series of digital Toronto streetscapes is duality. Fleisher mixes two versions of each locality in a single frame to create a “duo�, or banner-like image that captures the inherent historicity of each location. In many of her photos she captures not only what is in front but also what is around her – the subconscious cultural milieu we are part of. Fleisher offers a mix of pictures; there are those that seem based on realism and those that are pulled into surrealistic “interventions� using the array of filters in the photoshop digital darkroom.
Fleisher also takes her camera to art events in Toronto. DIGITAL DIVAS are digitally transformed snapshots of Toronto art community celebrities. All the proceeds from Digital Divas will go to Children Wish Foundation.
Fleisher showed in galleries in Toronto, Montreal, New York City and Madrid. Her works are part of many private collections.
