Wolfman / 2022 / Ten Yetman (Winnipeg, Canada) / Acrylic and ink on canvas / 12 x 12 inches / $700

“A wolf rides through the desert looking for a resting place for his alter ego, 'skull wolf' who lives inside him. His friend Wolfman rides a top his back.”

Ten Yetman is a visual artist born in Winnipeg, Canada. After attending the Fine Arts Program at the University of Manitoba (2004-2009) she spent many years living in Mexico City and afterwards in Nagoya, Japan teaching art classes and exhibiting her work. Heavily influenced by her experiences abroad, her work explores cultural and historical expressions of death and immortality. After moving back to Canada in 2013 she has been continuing to paint and exhibit work in Canada and the United States. Ten's work is a hyper-juxtaposition, constantly referencing both "comforting" bright colours and patterns, candies and sweets, parties and beach scenes and "uncomfortable" images of horror. Her most recent work features creatures of her own invention and has been heavily influenced by the cemeteries of Real de Catorce, Fellini Films, DEVO music videos, 80s's fabrics, Greek Mythology and early 20th century British Literature.
