Saimaiyu Akesuk

1988-

Saimaiyu was born in Iqaluit. She moved to Cape Dorset as a child, where she has lived ever since. Her parents, Lau Akesuk and Olayuk Akesuka were one of the first Members of the Legislative Assembly in Nunavut.

Saimaiyu was inspired by the work of Ningeokuluk Teevee while they took a class together, and turned that into her own unique style.

In her works, Saimaiyu often draws bears, birds and other wildlife rendered with strong colours and patterns. Through simple stylised forms, Saimaiyu's work exudes energy and whimsy, and takes a bold approach to contemporary Inuit imagery.

Megan Dietrich is a multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver.

In Dietrich’s paintings, expressive compositions are woven together through context and instinct to create gestural arrangements that exist between the honest and the surreal. Through studies in colour and story, Dietrich employs an abstracted lens to free herself from the noise of exactitude. The goal is to ultimately give the viewer a space on which to impress their own narratives while delivering nods to a collective through line.

“I feel like I’m always investigating emotional tangibility, whether I like it or not. And that’s where my work tends to find itself. I obsessively avoid visual stasis, but I try to find peace in ambiguity.”

Dietrich’s work can be found in collections internationally as well as multimedia collaborations.

Luke Ramsey

Luke Ramsey is recognized internationally for his art and design work. This Powell River-based artist has been featured in exhibitions from L.A. to Berlin. Luke describes his work as, "Organized chaos- a play with paradoxical themes. The content is influenced by a beautifully strange cosmos of organisms and comedy. The approach needs to feel fluid and not forced." Luke's ink on paper works inspire awe from anyone that sees them. They are finely rendered and visually engaging. The amount of detail and work in each piece will draw the viewer in to find an entire imaginary world in each of his creations.

Sean Yelland

Sean Yelland is a Toronto based painter whose work plays with a sense of mystery in everyday urban settings. His work has a power to it that plays with a sense of voyeurism and intrigue. By confronting the viewer with scenes that should be full of action but are shown in a state of stillness, he is removing the comfort of the expected, and questioning our relationship to our environment.
