Carly Waito is a Toronto based artist who is able to capture the spirit of a crystal in paintings.
These are painting- not photographs!
From the artist's statement:
In these works, diminutive specimens of semi-precious gems and minerals are rendered in meticulous detail, exposing the beauty and logic of their structural minutiae.
From the artist's information page:
Through curating minerals, photographing them in macroscopic detail and rendering them in oil paints, Waito employs a layered process highlighting the ties between mimesis and levels of value.
For those based in Toronto, Narwhal at:
680 Queen St. West
is running an exhibition of her work, called Specimens, until Oct 2nd 2011
