Satellite Project Space is pleased to announce the 2024 Award Exhibition, with three featured emerging artists, Madison Lambert (Bealart), Georgia Ross (Fanshawe College, Fine Arts), and Chloe Serenko (Western University BFA). Each year these academic institutions offer the opportunity for graduating students with a growing practice time to explore their artistic practices with depth and display their recent projects in a culminating group exhibition. Each artist has their own unique approach to exploring art making, and has a viewpoint to share about their current environment and societal experiences. They have each grown up in their own communities and have witnessed and undergone events that have constructed their approach to life. Specifically referencing urban life and modern relationships with partners, their communities, and the city environment, “Urbania” provides a look into the perspective of Lambert, Ross, and Serenko as they expand their artistic practices at pivotal moments in their careers.

Madison Lambert expresses herself through use of painting, textile, and print media. She finds herself interested in small moments of modern culture and often depicts objects and people she comes into contact with in her environment. Lambert’s work has documentary aspects, which amplify the significance of subtle moments or interactions that each audience member can connect with.

Georgia Ross has been exploring the use of light and colour in her work to depict modern people in vibrant portraiture. Each work will explore creating expression in portraits, both with the representation of emotion and symbolism of light and varied hues. Ross searches to add a ‘glow’ to her subjects, often creating auras that mystify and intensify the subject.

Chloe Serenko invites a reflection on personal experiences in fleeting moments within our relationships. Serenko’s work explores modern romantic relationships, delving into intimacy and domesticity often experienced in brief instances through hook up culture. Their work brings forward experiences as a young queer woman, with dichotic experiences between together/solitary and intimate/disconnected. These vibrant works edge towards autobiographical, but represent universal experiences of the contemporary dating scene.
