Jamie and Kevin's Story
Jamie and Kevin are the artists behind Rawry & Pohly. Named after their childhood stuffed animals, Rawry & Pohly’s practice is centered on encouraging acts of play and reconnecting with one’s childhood through the lens of visual arts. Rawry & Pohly specialize in stylistic interpretations of modern pop art with elements of minimalism by utilizing mixed media on canvas, sculpture, and print. They strive to create artwork that is accessible to the public: this means creating art that is immediately recognizable and meaningful to the viewer. Their recent focus in public art is on grassroots community art projects for underserved community members and areas.
After being awarded a grant to create their first ever sculptures for igNIGHT: Illuminated in Fort McMurray, Jamie and Kevin were looking for a space to manufacture their art without having to spend the grant money on storage and project specific equipment alone. Through a Google search, they found Fuse33 and it was the perfect solution for them. Fuse33 offered them a place to fabricate without unnecessary expense and the opportunity to learn what tools were essential to their future endeavors, not to mention a community of makers to bounce ideas off of.
More recently, Jamie and Kevin embarked on painting one of the largest murals in Calgary, located on 2nd Ave SW in Chinatown. The mural reimagines the iconic Chinese scroll painting “Along The River During the Qingming Festival” through the lens of Rawry & Pohly’s artistic style. Fuse33 helped make this project possible by facilitating a space where Rawry & Pohly was able to build its reputation and execute deliveries. As a result, Rawry & Pohly’s community reach increased tenfold through working with Fuse33, which allowed them to create large sculpture works and take on projects they only would have dreamed of.
As a fabrication space, community, and educational center, Fuse33 is an unmatched and valuable addition to the community. There are no other spaces in the city with as many resources as Fuse33, it is truly the only place in Calgary of its kind.
