Studio Fuse is a new space run by Tanya Kirouac and Robyn Drage in Toronto’s historic Distillery District. The gallery is showcasing emerging and mid-career contemporary Canadian artists in a range of styles and mediums.

From time to time, part of the space is also a working artist studio, surrounded by other artists and craftspeople working and showing in the dynamic Case Goods building.

Tanya Kirouac uses wax and oil pigments in the ancient encaustic process/medium to form and carve the hills and valleys of each vision. Experimenting with a variety of techniques, waxes and tools keeps the process fresh and opens up the road to personal and artistic evolution.

Robyn Drage uses her Seasons Patterns series to explore our need to reshape, rework, redefine the natural systems around us. Strong, flat colour landscapes redefine natural trees patterns and reflect our desires to understand, interact with and control the world around us.
