TJO
About
As a visual artist, Tjo delves into the complexities of mental health, pure OCD, and psychology through his art. Born in Quebec, his work revolves around struggles and experiences, creating a visual representation of his inner world. The art is characterized by a series of artworks created in dark blue rooms, symbolizing the depth and obscurity of the mind. Within these blue spaces, he depicts the energy of human archetypes represented as red figures, exploring the universal aspects of the human condition. Through these archetypal representations, he aims to evoke emotions and provoke thoughts in the viewer, inviting them to reflect on their psyche. Interested in the artistic relationship between Dionysus and Apollo, he employs an amalgamation of techniques to create an imperfect balance between his subject and its physical form using collage, painting, and any form of material destruction that can blend excess with the dream. Through his art, he creates a dialogue, raises awareness, and sparks conversations about mental health, self-expression, and the human experience.
In hopes to build a bridge with his first nation heritage, TJO is currently at the University of Montreal following studies in Innu-aimun.
