Mitchell & Newton collaborate on specific pieces, merging their respective mediums. ‘Fusion Perspectives‘ aims to ignite the imagination of its viewers by combining the intricate techniques of Victoria Mitchell with the evocative photography of Paul Newton.
This display of creative convergence presents a unique and thought provoking experience that transcends individual artistic expressions. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where imagination, emotion, and reality converge, leaving them with a renewed appreciation for the transformative power of art.
Victoria Mitchell intricately conveys a unique visual language through surreal and representational paintings and illustrations. Her enigmatic and joyful abstractions engage viewers with introspective depths, and environmental sensitivities. She is influenced by extensive studies of body structure and kinetics, and is strongly inspired by connections with our natural surroundings. Since 2017 Victoria has been working from a Vancouver based studio, and has very much enjoyed volunteer work with BC arts communities, mentoring, curating exhibitions, and sharing her work in galleries and exhibitions in BC and internationally.
“Through paintings and illustrations, I’m drawn to the exploration of interconnectedness between human form, and other natural entities. There is a profound fascination within me for portraying intangible networks and energies that interweave and interconnect “everything with everything” within us and surrounding us. In essence, my expressions serve as a conduit, bridging the gaps between humanity, nature, and the environment. It is a visual language through which I can express concerns and appreciation for the delicate balance that exists between ourselves and the world we inhabit.”
Paul Newton is an internationally acclaimed photographer based in New Westminster, British Columbia. With a passion for haunting and evocative imagery, Paul’s artistic journey has taken him to discover captivating locations worldwide. Through his lens, he skillfully captures the essence of these places, transporting viewers to new worlds of wonder.
Drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of subjects, Paul’s photographs encompass a diverse range of themes. From the rugged, windswept coastlines of Iceland, to the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest, or the forgotten brutalist monument of Eastern Europe, each image tells a unique story. With a strong focus on narrative and escapism, Paul invites us to escape into realms of imagination while keeping one foot grounded in reality.
In 2022, Paul achieved his first international recognition by taking home the gold in the non-professional Architectural category at the prestigious International Photography Awards in New York. He has since gone on to be rewarded at the Budapest and Tokyo International Photo Awards, Black & White Spider Awards, and the London International Creative to name a few.
