I am a maximalist painter from Ottawa, Ontario with a background in both arts and business.
I have never been one to dumb things down just to make them easy to understand. In my darkest moods, I have found myself drawn to minimalism — its distance, its refusal to demand. After months of isolation, I am done hiding — reclusion sucked, and life is too good to keep looking away. That refusal doesn't stop at the door. Restraint is a choice, and it's one I refuse to make on the canvas. If art is meant to mimic life, it has no business being edited down to what's comfortable: life is bright, colorful, big, it's shiny, vibrant, and whatever else I make of it. All of it belongs on the canvas the same way it shows up everywhere else — not trimmed to what matches our TV-facing sofas.
The beauty of my work comes from excess handled with intention — from the cerebral experience of exploring my art and how it relates to your life. I do not use sketches or references, and I have not gone to school for art. I learned mostly through doodling in elementary school and stealing stick tack from the back of posters to sculpt my doodles thereafter.
I hope you enjoy the work. The only place to see it is on Instagram at @loganwow_.
