Iris Arnon

ABOUT

Iris is a multi-disciplined Ottawa artist, working both as a painter and a ceramic artist. After obtaining university degrees in engineering, a brief career as an engineer and another as a full-time mother, Iris rekindled her passion for art. She shared this passion with the children of Ottawa Jewish Community School as a volunteer art teacher for many years. In 2007 she began to study figure drawing and painting at the Ottawa School of Art and in 2009 she started exploring the world of clay; she had the privilege of studying with Jim Thomson until 2012. Over the years she has studied with and been mentored by numerous artists, in Canada and abroad.

 

Iris has been a member of Gladstone ClayWorks since 2014, the cooperative ceramic studio where she works.  She handbuilds sculptural pieces in clay. Iris also pursues painting and mixed media work in her home studio. Much of her work is on mylar, a translucent drawing film. She uses oil sticks, paint, graphite, charcoal and other media. 

 

Iris works expressively and gesturally in both clay and painting. Her work tends toward abstraction, often exploring contrasts and tensions. The human figure is a favourite subject and she returns to it again and again. Iris works intuitively, dialoguing with the work as it emerges. Each work starts with an idea but is ultimately a journey of exploration and discovery.
