Lindy Fyfe: Confluence

Toronto painter Lindy Fyfe also works with textiles, taking the bold and colourful geometric patterns of knit fabrics used for articles of clothing and stretching them, deforming the patterns, and juxtaposing them against other patterns, then mounting all of it over canvas stretchers. It is possible to draw comparisons to the Op-Art movement, which flooded the eyes and senses, but Fyfe's work finds no real direct home within the constraints of style. Fyfe's work is intuitive, explorative and unique in approach.
