Fin Simonetti (b.1985 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) works in sculpture and stained glass. Her work examines the entangled relationship between measures of control and desires for security. Simonetti uses imagery that is designed to tap into our visceral fears, and conceptually moves between rendering sculptural forms that represent both protection and vulnerability. The artist’s frequent use of stained glass references its history as a common trade amongst Italian immigrants in Canada, including the artist’s own family.
Simonetti received her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2009 and has exhibited internationally at Esker Foundation, Calgary; Matthew Brown, Los Angeles; Company Gallery, New York; Cooper Cole, Toronto; Interstate Projects, Brooklyn; CLEARING, Brooklyn; MoMA PS1, New York, among others. Her work has been reviewed in ArtForum, The New York Times, Art in America, The New Yorker, Cultured Magazine, and Canadian Art. This year she will be releasing her second album through Hausu Mountain, Chicago. Simonetti is represented by Cooper Cole, Toronto, Canada, and Matthew Brown, Los Angeles, USA. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, USA.
