Jaime Angelopoulos is a Toronto-based visual artist currently enrolled as an MFA candidate in sculpture at York University. Angelopoulos received her BFA from NSCAD University in 2005, and has participated in artist residencies at Meadows School of the Arts (Dallas, TX) and the Banff Centre for the Arts (Alberta). Angelopoulos has participated in solo exhibitions and performances at The Anna Leonowens Gallery (Halifax), Meadows School of the Arts Gallery (Dallas), Special Projects York University Gallery (Toronto), and the Other Gallery, (Alberta). Her sculptural practice explores the intrinsic characteristics of physical objects through formal considerations of shape, color, scale and gravity. She often combines two or more variable sculptural objects in one work, highlighting seemingly contradictory forms in a coexisting context. She works with found material and is interested in the transformative potential of materials, processes and spaces. Angelopoulos congruently works on large-scale abstract drawings that explore similar themes of color, form and surface.
Angelopoulos has exhibited in group exhibitions at Art Mûr (Montreal), Loop Gallery (Toronto), Durham Public Art Gallery (Ontario), Victoria College of Art (Melbourne) and Sydney College of Art (Australia). She is currently instructing a sculpture course at York University and preparing for her MFA thesis exhibition and defense at The Gallery, York University, 1-9 April 2010.
