Caitlin Gallupe
I want to introduce you all to an artist named Caitlin Gallupe. She is a drifter, occasionally calling Montreal “home” and will have a show at D&Q in the new year. Here’s a little something to get you revved up for it.

The main thing that I love about Caitlin’s artwork is her use of colour and my second favorite is that it’s playful and never stuffy. She got her start designing posters and album art for a smattering of Canadian bands including Immaculate Machine (her bro’s band), Shapes and Sizes, Chet, Colourbook and many more. She still does art for bands but it’s her art for art’s sake that I really love.

Caitlin has developed a really specific drawing and painting style with flashes of bright colour using acrylic, gouache and old house paint which she has also incorporated into 3 dimensional pieces (like the paper sculpture seen below).

Aside from her art practice Caitlin plays in a rock band called Slam Dunk, is starting up a new silkscreening studio in Victoria and practices herbal medicine. Also if anyone is interested she’d aspires to one day put on a community production of Jesus Christ Superstar, what a gal!

I think that the link to see more of her art is way wrong.
