In her new series, Hot Properties: We've been here before, Propeller Art Gallery members Frances Patella is revisiting a title she used in a solo exhibition in 2014. Russia had just invaded Crimea.  The Toronto real estate market was "hot".


Inspired by an OSA trip to Temagami and Kirkland Lake in Northern Ontario, Frances began to add elements of the ecosystem in her paintings and photographs. These new works include sculptural elements, like burnt wood from the High Park controlled burns.  Patella uses photographs to represent an ecosystem over time, incorporating acrylic paint and analog photography, including double exposures.


Frances Patella was born in Italy and resides in Toronto.  She is a photo-based artist who work explores transformation in the landscapes of controlled burns.
