Raine Storey is a Canadian born visual artist with a BFA(H) as a Loran Scholar from Queen’s University. Since 2017, she has been developing a new body of artwork using oil on canvas. What started out as an experimental style in Storey’s studio after open-heart surgery, brought out a new exploration of interior space, inspired by the blank walls of King’s College Hospital; where she spent significant time in convalescence. Her longing for escape after months of medical confinement led her to create a series that fuses colour with form, conscious with subconscious, in an uplifting yet calming manner. Storey’s work is known for its unapologetic humour within intellectually clever compositions, through the use of negative space she demonstrates that the art of omission is just as important as articulation.
