To create their narratives, whether personal or as a group, each artist employs techniques such as abstraction, layering and materiality. Antonietta Grassi, for example, the trio’s painter, draws inspiration from modernist artists such as Agnes Martin and  , from the pioneer in computer coding Ada Lovelace, and from the women in her family who laboured in textile factories.  Finally, Sarah Stevenson creates fine materials into large suspended shapes, reminiscent of Ruth Asawa’s work.

The exhibition Beteween the Lines, invites viewers to discover the interplay between the work of the three artists, both visually and conceptually. The complex geometric lines in Antonietta Grassi’s paintings echo the fine threads of Sarah Stevenson’s hanging sculptures. Naomi London’s fabric spheres bring us back to the material evoked by Grassi and provide a counterbalance to the voids created by Stevenson. Through their work, the three artists show how lines, shapes and handcrafted materials interact with one another. To sum up, this exhibition showcases women’s craftsmanship, ranging from the techniques of famous modernist painters to the anonymous women whom the artists loved.

The three artists live and work in Montréal. Antonietta Grassi holds a master’s degree in visual arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal and her work has been exhibited in Quebec, across Canada, in the United States and in Europe.
