Victoria Wallace

Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
Artist (Painting, Drawing)
Born 1961
My paintings contain a combination of photo-realistic subject matter in dream-like, surrealistic settings. This often includes subtly allegorical interplay, both esoteric and more broadly accessible.

Victoria Wallace is a contemporary Canadian artist. Her conceptual mixture of realism and fantasy in her painting practice was shaped by the ‘trompe l’oeil’ influence mastered during her many years of mural painting. In her artwork, she skillfully creates surrealistic narratives by juxtaposing realistic subject matter within fantastical scenarios. These narratives unfold within diverse settings such as urban and natural landscapes, fairgrounds, residential interiors, and more. She derives immense joy from the subtle humor and hidden messages covertly embedded in her artworks, waiting to be "discovered" by the viewer.

For more than four decades, Victoria Wallace has displayed her paintings in a variety of venues including art galleries, exhibitions, and art festivals. Her artwork has graced spaces in Toronto, Mississauga, Peterborough, Cobourg, Haliburton, Warkworth, and has also been showcased online as well as in her personal art studio located in Peterborough. The impact of her work extends beyond these exhibitions as her pieces have found their way into private collections across Canada, the United States, and Europe.

I believe that artistic inspiration is out there in the atmosphere available to us all. It’s just a matter of awareness and observation in noticing the world around us. This is something that I’ve developed just by participating in life with my five senses.
In applying this inspiration to my artistic practice, my work is often driven by the connection I’ve make with my topic. As each piece of my artwork develops and my connection to it deepens, I somehow become detached from myself, my hands moving faster than my mind; I am reduced to the simple transporter of the message that first inspired me.
My artwork is also medium driven; I relish the random intention each brush stroke instills in the creation of my art.
The human energy imparted by the viewers of my artwork feeds a part of the inspiration I am forever discovering. I pick up on the reaction of each individual to my paintings. The observers' emotional and spiritual connection to my work infuses a synergy into each piece of art I produce.
