BIOGRAPHY

Tristram Lansdowne's practice explores organised space's historical and cultural representations, considering how architecture is used to express desire and control. His recent work examines the psycho-spatial content of the contemporary modernist home, paying particular attention to the effects of globalised design culture and digital rendering technologies. Detailed watercolours, drawings, sculptures and printmaking explore the home's construction as an image, tugging at the deception of the surface by re-coding digital processes through the handmade. Reversals of two- and three-dimensional forms coupled with shifts in perspective destabilise the viewer's position, reinscribing the aesthetics of domestic space and asking for whom, if anyone, this ideal home is intended.

Lansdowne’s work has been included in several solo exhibitions at Galerie Nicolas Robert, Montréal (2021/2019/2017); Galerie Nicolas Robert, Toronto (2019); Wil Kucey Gallery, Toronto (2016); LE Gallery, Toronto (2014); Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery, Kitchener, Ontario (2014) and Joshua Liner Gallery, New York (2010) among others. His work was also featured in group exhibitions, including Personal Space, Patel Brown Gallery, Toronto (2021); Rooms, Angell Gallery, Toronto (2018); HORIZONS, Galerie Nicolas Robert, Montréal (2017); Psychonautics, CES Gallery, Los Angeles (2017) and Terraformers, Bonington Gallery, Nottingham Trent University, England (2016).

He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Ontario College of Art & Design (2007) and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island (2016).
