Laine Groeneweg (aka LAiNE) is a Hamilton-based artist and collaborator. He received his BFA from York University and went on to train at Fondazione Il Bisonte Per Lo Studio Dell’Arte Grafica in Florence, Italy. In 2013 he founded Smokestack where he has since developed a reputation for his energetic and audacious printmaking practice. In Laine’s personal & collaborative practice, he embraces the possibilities of traditional technique in the wake of more contemporary methods. He approaches the printmaking medium as a means of production, inspiration, and preservation. His prints are as stylistically and conceptually diverse as the medium itself. Laine’s work has been exhibited Nationally and Internationally across North America, Europe, and Asia and are held in a number of public and private collections.
Nathan Eugene Carson (b. 1980, lives and works in Hamilton, Ontario) received a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2005. His drawings and paintings have since been shown at Verso Gallery, Lennox Contemporary, Gallery One, and the Drake Hotel in Toronto. Carson’s work was also featured during the AGO First Thursdays in partnership with the RBC Emerging Artists Projects and StreetARToronto. In 2016, he was part of an exhibition titled Ponto , the first of several held at Oswald Gallery, in Hamilton , other group exhibitions include Free Fall (2016) and Worked Over (2017), both at Oswald Gallery, and 100 Paintings (2019) at The Carnegie Gallery, Dundas, Ontario, Cut From The Same Cloth (2021) at the Power Plant Toronto, Ontario . His most recent solo exhibition was an Art residency at The Art Gallery of Hamilton titled Black Carnival (2023).
THE STORY:
Embracing the freedom of creativity with no rules or set directions, artists Laine Groeneweg and Nathan Eugene Carson came together one night in the studio and unleashed their pure inspiration.
