Randi Lalonde: Space to Surface
John V. Hicks Gallery
November 1 - 23, 2025
Opening Reception: Nov. 14th, 12PM
In Space to Surface, artist Randi Lalonde explores the quiet tension between representation and abstraction. Her works on paper and paintings strike a delicate balance, where legible images dissolve into fields of texture, colour, and gesture. Through her process, Lalonde conjures conversations between order and organic form, each surface treated with an almost artificial dew, as if the image might evaporate or transform at any moment.
Her practice unfolds slowly, like movement through space, an increase of pigment and matter over time. A tangible sense of rhythm and atmosphere anchors each work, inviting viewers to linger, to look closely and slowly. There is a meditative current running through her approach: no work is ever considered complete, but rather part of an ongoing dialogue with the landscapes and places that shape her.
Space to Surface exists in this in-between — between mark and meaning, between creation and environment — offering viewers a quiet space for contemplation and connection.
