In Laila's artistic practise, she explores the intricate connection between moments and food. Her primary objective is to capture the essence of those seemingly insignificant pauses—like the hurried stop at a gas station during a road trip where the contemplative moment of selecting snacks takes over, or the nostalgic act of choosing treats for a movie date. These instances, such as stumbling upon your mom's favourite candy at a convenience store, are laden with a unique sense of time and memory.
Laila Bloomstone is an emerging artist from Toronto, Canada. She graduated from Western University in 2024 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in Studio Art.
Laila's art embraces realism through acrylics. From afar, it's photographic; up close, details emerge in brushstrokes. Each piece reflects her unique perspective, captured through iPhone references. Laila’s work has been exhibited in numerous shows throughout her time at Western University, including the Annual Juried Exhibition in 2023 and 2024, her final thesis show, Sincerely, as well as publications and exhibitions through the USC Public Arts Commission. Her painting, George's, is on public display in George and Corey's Foodmarket, London, Ontario. Laila recently won the Western Hospitality award for her painting “Can’t Make a Decision”. Laila showed her work at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair in Nathan Phillips Square July 12-14. Her piece "Tasting Colours" was featured in a TOAF63 Curated Collection Hot Town - Summer in the City, curated by Art Collector and Curator Cathy Bisset Parkes.
