Jon Todd is a Canadian contemporary artist recognized for pushing the boundaries of abstract expression and multi-disciplinary technique. From hyper-detailed portraits to bold collage pieces, Todd’s integrative process involves the layering of various mediums and imagery influences to create works that demonstrate a depth of complexity at once intricately elaborate and chaotically refined.
Todd’s new Published Edition, The Ghosts on the Fringe expands on his distinctive visual vocabulary, revealing a meticulously-detailed collection of symbolic images and patterns merged layer-by-layer through the process of silkscreen print. With collaborative support from Smokestack’s analog printmaker, Laine Groeneweg, Todd’s imagery was assembled using 7 distinct layers of shape and colour that brought this new, richly narrative portrait to life.
Jon Todd’s diverse portfolio has been presented and collected on both sides of the Atlantic with a career spanning over two-decades. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across eastern Canada and internationally in the United States, Germany, Denmark and Switzerland. Todd currently lives and works in Hamilton, ON.
