Yellow House Gallery & Framing

Description

Yellow House Gallery is a brand new art gallery in Kingston Road Village.
We showcase local and regional artists working in contemporary ways, and aim to create a conversation between local work, and global art practices of the day. Our gallery also offers custom framing for artists and art lovers alike. About your Director Yellow House is owned and operated by Christina Kostoff. Christina is an alumna of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she earned her MFA in 2013. She studied sculpture and installation art at The Ontario College of Art and Design where she received her BFA in 2009. During her studies in Chicago, Christina developed her studio practice as well as studying art history, and she received a nomination for the Clay Morisson Scholarship for her outstanding research in the area of L’Art Brute (European ‘raw art’) as well as American outsider art. Within the local Chicago scene, Christina began curating screenings and exhibitions showcasing artists working in all media. Christina is elated to be opening Yellow House Gallery, borrowing it’s namesake from the historic Yellow House, a studio founded by Vincent Van Gogh at the turn of the 20th century. In this house, Van Gogh and other artists such as Paul Gaugin hashed out some pretty modern ideas concerning the art of their time.
