Philip Leonard Ocampo

Artist Afternoons

Our community social, Artist Afternoons, returns Saturday, 10 August from 4-6 PM. This special edition of Artist Afternoons will be co-hosted by our newest board member, Philip Ocampo!

We invite artists, friends, peers and neighbours to join us on the patio, and take in our summer exhibitions with good company. Gather around Sukaina Kubba’s Jealousy: Now the Voice of the Second, and catch the final weeks of M***** by Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill in the gallery.

Refreshments are on the house and all are welcome!

Information

Philip Leonard Ocampo (b.1995) is an artist and arts facilitator based in Tkaronto, Canada. Ocampo’s multidisciplinary practice involves painting, sculpture, writing and curatorial projects. Exploring worldbuilding, radical hope and speculative futures, Ocampo’s work embodies a curious cross between magic wonder and the nostalgic imaginary. Following the tangents, histories and canons of popular culture, Ocampo is interested in how unearthing cultural touchstones of past / current times may therefore serve as catalysts for broader conversations about lived experiences; personal, collective, diasporic, etc.

He holds a BFA in Integrated Media (DPXA) from OCAD University (2018) and is one of the four founding co-directors of Hearth, an artist-run space based in the city.
