Brenda Webster Tweel is a Toronto-based artist who explores contemporary portraiture and landscape themes through a singular medium, contrasting contemporary subjects with a 19th C sensibility. Romantic and idealistic, her works reference modernists from Warhol to Wu Chi-Tsung, dissolving studies into Prussian Blue, high contrast abstracted stories of human\nature define her work. Entirely self-taught, her work has evolved/grown over the last two decades - Webster Tweel's process mirrors her artistic ambitions. 15-ft cyanotypes are exposed, outdoors, often for over an hour. Webster Tweel's newest works have begun to add introspection to an ongoing analysis of the cycles of nature, the power of shape, and ego.
