Adriele Au
Reinventing how one views common everyday objects and using traditional art mediums in unconventional ways is a theme in my artistic practice. Questioning the interactions we have with objects through my unexpected placement or handling allows a dialogue between the viewer and the work. My memories and curiosity are the reference points in my abstracted or semi-representational work. Vibrant colors, textures, irregular shapes, and forms attract me most of all. Playfulness and gentle questioning accompanies my approach.
Adriele Au is a Canadian creator from an immigrant/settler family background working and living on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish First Nations also known as Burnaby, BC. Her work is a hybrid of painting, drawing, and sculpture using mixed media and repurposed objects which address the themes of emotions, home, time, and nostalgia. Earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2019, she has exhibited with multiple galleries and performing arts venues in the Lower Mainland and worked with the City of Richmond with public art projects.
