Monica Tap teaches Painting and Drawing and currently serves as the area coordinator for drawing at the University of Guelph. Her artistic activities involve investigating questions of representation and the historical predicament of painting. Her practice opens a space for landscape abstraction and navigates the terrain of drawing, painting, video, and collage. Over the past twenty years, Tap has created lush, calligraphic painterly canvases and engaged in conceptual and systematic investigations into the codes of pictorial illusionism and perception. Her work has been widely exhibited in Canada, as well as in London, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; and New York. Prior to joining the University of Guelph, she taught at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She is a recipient of grants and awards from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for her project titled Translation Strategy Renewal in Painting. Tap's work is represented in private, corporate, and public collections across Canada and the United States, and she is associated with MKG127 in Toronto and Peter Robertson Gallery in Edmonton.
