Get matched →Collective City Arts presents It Took an Age or Two to Get Home, an exhibition by artist Jim Bravo. This exhibition represents a study in immigration and resettlement, exploring themes such as ancestry, immediate family, inherited and adopted culture, and inter-cultural urban and rural dynamics. From the artist's native birthplace of Guayaquil, Ecuador, to Toronto, Canada, and onto Europe, each canvas is an expression of a memory and a painted record of an instance for which no camera was present to capture. As the artist's adopted home, depictions of life in Toronto form the core of the exhibit.
Oil Painter and Muralist Jim Bravo is a graduate of The Ontario College of Art and Design University. Career milestones include multiple T.A.B.I.A. mural awards, first honors for the Kingston Prize for Contemporary Canadian Portraiture, and numerous landscape painting accolades. He is the recipient of the Toronto Arts Council's Black Arts Projects grant for the years 2022 and 2023, and the Ontario Arts Council Creation Project grant for 2022, under which many of the works in this exhibition were created. In 2023, Bravo was selected to spearhead the District of Muskoka's extensive and ongoing I.D.E.A. (Inclusivity Diversity Equality Anti-bullying & Racism) mural campaign.
