Fin Simonetti

Fin Simonetti (b.1985 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) received her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2009. Working 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 has exhibited internationally at Company Gallery, New York (2019); Cooper Cole, Toronto (2019); Interstate Projects, Brooklyn (2018); The Space Company, San Francisco (2018); Lock Up International, Mexico City (2018); MoMA PS1, New York (2016); Good Weather, Miami (2016); Gal Space, London UK (2013); and Doris McCarthy Gallery, University of Toronto at Scarborough, Scarborough (2013). Her work has been reviewed in ArtForum, The New York Times, Art in America, The New Yorker, Cultured Magazine, and Canadian Art. In 2018 she released her debut album ICE PIX on Hausu Mountain, Chicago. Simonetti lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, USA.
