These instigators of meaning shift the expectations of the common to unfold them into a playful display of exuberant skill and subversive explorations. 

In this forum first set forth by French Algerian-born philosopher Jacques Derrida, Division Gallery (Toronto ON, Montreal QC) proposes three artists who employ the collisions between the visua and the embedded meaning to trigger surprising intersections and chains of mental associations. 

The curious story that comes with the softly rendered flowers accompanied by brief messages of regret and sorrow, a three-dimensional acrylic analogue of packing material wrapped around a linen canvas that dares us to feel nothing upon first glance, and a series of watercolours depicting the darker undercurrents of domestic life. All of which harbor and evoke sincere yet calibrated pathos through the use of text and visual signifiers. 

For a medium or large size booth, we propose a large number of Flower paintings by Neil Farber and Michael Dumontier - affixed on the first wall placed together in a series, turning the corner on a datum that maintains a visual connection through a perpendicular surface on an artificial horizon.   A gap in between bridging a momentof contemplation, between the morbid fasciation of love in the Flowers series and the jarring realism of Tammi Campbell’s acrylic-made bubble wrap painting. The adjacent wall presents a series of randomly placed watercolours by Brad Phillips,adding spatial complexity to a perfect horizon and asymmetrical placement.  Mapping the chaotic process of thinking that comes after machination of order.
