Drawing and Painting
“Exploring the absurdity of limitation and the joy in play and possibility, I create works that reflect the transformative experiences of the human body. Focusing on metamorphic processes of birth, growth, degeneration, and death, my works bring forth an appreciation of all aspects of a corporeal existence.”
Sydney Lad is a multimedia artist originating and working from Toronto, Canada. She began her practice with a focus in drawing and painting, soon discovering a love for sculpture during her undergrad at OCAD university. Through her painting and sculpture work, Sydney examines the human body as an expansive and imaginative corporeal existence through painting and mixed media sculpture. Expanding her practice every day, Sydney is looking to bring her art to new audiences and platforms.
