 | | And because we promised you eye candy ... | | | | |  | David Elliott | | Diorama-rama! Designer (Maddy), a 2021 collage box by David Elliott. | | | | |  | Beth Frey | | I wish I’d thought to include this in last week’s AI-heavy newsletter, but hey, no time like the present! Painting by Beth Frey, a Canadian artist who’s been using AI to sort of inform her work. This watercolour painting (baddie poo and the pom that got everything), for example, got its title from an AI generator. Her very popular Insta of AI-generated nightmares is also worth a follow. | | | | |  | Divya Mehra/Night Gallery | | Sobey Art Award winner Divya Mehra has this giant inflatable up in L.A. right now for Frieze Los Angeles. Title: A Practical Guide. | | | | |  | Gillian Haigh | | The Difference is Spreading by Gillian Haigh. (This weekend, Gillian opened a solo exhibition at the MacKenzie Heights location of Mónica Reyes Gallery in Vancouver.) | | | | |  | Novak Djogo and Daniel Joshua Vanderhorst | | In 2015, the people of Toronto paid tribute to a dead raccoon dubbed Conrad. Now, there’s a tribute to that tribute … because this city lives for weird stuff about trash pandas. Look for the installation at the Winter Stations festival. It’s happening Feb. 20 to April 3 at Woodbine Beach. | | | | |  | Meryl McMaster | | | | | When Meryl McMaster discovered her great-grandmother’s diary, she was inspired to create a stunning new body of work. Those new films and photographs are now appearing as part of Bloodline, a survey exhibition at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. It begins touring the country later this year. | | | | |  | HBO | | | | | As Sarah MacDonald writes, the HBO series feels like a time capsule of youth, failure and grace. | | | | |  | Getty Images | | | | | | | From Adele to Trent Reznor, these 15 stars are waiting in the wings. | | |  | Tee Fergus | | You might know Tee from Art Hurts, our video series about Canadian tattoo artists, but Tee’s a painter too, and they post plenty of works like this on their Instagram. | | | | | Share this newsletter | | or subscribe if this was
