Exhibition No. 2

Tania LaCaria is an Italian-Canadian artist. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from York University (2006) and a CIDA advanced diploma in Interior Design from Sheridan (2009).

LaCaria has travelled the world extensively, gathering inspiration from various cultures and countries where she’s lived, namely in Latin America and South East Asia. She returned to Canada and settled in Hamilton in 2016, where she currently lives and works.

LaCaria’s work explores the concept of paradox – the idea that conflicting realities exist at the exact same time – focusing on themes based in gender, sexuality, social structure/class systems, body politics and I relationships through an Abstract Expressionist aesthetic. LaCaria’s mission is to connect with others and build community through her art. Although her work reads as playful and vibrant, she considers it to be introspective and vulnerable as she paints about her own life experiences.
