Oreka JamesOreka James(Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a materials-based, multidisciplinary artist. Translating visions into sculpture, painting and sound, they explore material that has been obscured and transformed through space and time, land, love and ache, life and death. James’ practice bridges comparative ontology and metaphysics, speculative fiction and spirituality, traversing the intangible. They oscillate between play and devotion, often illuminating ancestral truths and personal tales. Fascinated by material and object alchemization, they continue their study into animism and object sentience.
James has completed a group residency at the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) and Bowling Green State University (Ohio). They have exhibited their work at Pangée (Montréal), NADA (New York), Cooper Cole (Toronto), Patel Brown Gallery (Toronto) and MOCA (Toronto) among others.
