Fantasy art casts a powerful spell. It sweeps us away into imaginary realms where we marvel at strange creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes, opening doors into worlds filled with magic, the supernatural, and powerful spirits that shape the forces of destiny and fate. From the smallest faerie community hidden under a forest leaf, to the watchful eyes of prodigious dragons perched on mountain peaks, fantasy offers artists opportunities to envision wonderous worlds without limits. Fantasy’s Spell: The Art of Enchantment highlights the work of present-day artists whose vivid imaginations and technical skill demonstrate the power that fantasy holds to enchant us – whether for pleasure or fright. Presenting work across a variety of physical, digital, and motion-based media, the exhibition celebrates fantasy’s popularity and growing importance as a genre in contemporary art. Curated in partnership with Jonathan Wallis, PhD, Program Head, Professor of Art History and Humanities, Creative & Critical Studies.
Artists in the exhibition include Daria Aksenova, Francesca Baerald, Shawn Bina, Julie Bell, Allison Carrier, Dom Evans, Tyler Jacobson, Charis Loke, Winona Nelson, Tran Nguyen, Victo Ngai, David Palumbo, Mike Schley, Jarel Threat, and Katie Woods.
