About this artwork
The Flowers Of My Acid Tears 2024 Mixed media: Acrylic and chalkboard paint on canvas 20"x24" On view at The Artist Project, Toronto. April 11-14, 2024. Booth 925. As an intuitive painter, I'm never quite sure what will come out on the canvas. I start painting and observe as the work evolves. You know how everyone keeps talking about AI? AI can write our news. AI will drive our cars, do our laundry. That's all fine and good, but honestly, I want AI to get creative. Can AI abstractify? Can it make things less linear and more abstract? Can AI make things more interesting? That's what I was thinking about in this work. I make things abstract to make them more interesting. It not how it looks in real life, it's how it feels when I put it through my personal algorithm. I'm not a robot, and I have my own vision.

About the artist
Linds Miyo is a self-taught, intuitive painter, known for process-based works that drift between abstraction and expressionism. Linds is interested in the interplay between our intentions and that which is beyond our control, the meeting place of our best efforts and happenstance. She begins each canvas with textured black underpainting, a striking visual representation of the gravity of emotions past. That textural contrast, amidst layers of joyful colour, moves the eye through these balanced works. In these unique paintings, the dark relief of the past is folded into the multi-dimensional present day, with an engaging sense of truth, wonder, and story.
