TAIS Showcase JURY

Each year TAIS invites a jury to select & award prizes for Best in Showcase and Best Anijam (Madi Piller Award). The winner of the Madi Piller Award receives a 3 week residency with equipment support and a $500.00CAD Artist Fee, and the work is screened in the following year’s Showcase. 

This year TAIS invited Constant Yen, Dylan Glynn, and Ivyy Chen.

 

Contstant Yen

Constant Yen is a Toronto-based artist & animator who likes to draw and make things with their hands. Their practice involves creating spontaneous and playful experimental work. Constant’s straight-ahead approach combines analog and digital mediums to create various textures across their moving-image works to achieve a raw, chaotic, and nostalgic appeal. Their work has been screened in film festivals and displayed in galleries across North America.

 

 

 

 

Dylan Glynn

Dylan Glynn is a painter, author and animator based out of Toronto, Canada. His multidisciplinary practice which includes a broad selection of traditional media (watercolour, oils, pen and ink, collage), 2d cel-animation, and Photoshop is unified by Glynn’s signature application which they describe as “one-shot, first-thought best-thought, perfectly imperfect”. In effect, Glynn brings the decisiveness and vitality of a 30-second gesture drawing to every medium they explore. The resulting images have a sense of raw energy and fresh colour as opposed to feeling muddy and overworked.
