Note:

Tiziana La Melia (b. 1982, Palermo) is a Vancouver-based artist. In her art and writing practice, Tiziana she gleans the detritus of the everyday and transmutes it into material textures and iterative shapes and symbols that move through layers of disoriented time. The painting Windshield is based on a video still from a feature length film titled Country Mouse City Mouse Hamster (2023), featuring friends performing the fabled simple life to reflect on relationships between the rural and the urban, tracing familial, symbolic and perception regarding food, textile, and place.

Notable solo and group exhibitions include Bad Water (Knoxville); The Kamloops Art Gallery; Damien and the Love Guru, (2023); Mecenes du Sud (Montpellier); Galerie Anne Barrault (Paris); The Vancouver Art Gallery and Unit 17 (Vancouver); Walter Phillips Gallery (Banff); and Mercer Union (Toronto). She is the author of The Eyelash and the Monochrome (2018), lettuce lettuce please go bad (2024), and the poetry album “Kletic Kink with Ellis Sam” (2022). Tiziana was the winner of the 2014 RBC Canadian Painting Competition.
