Phantoms in the Front Yard
Phantoms in the Front Yard (PITFY) is an artist collective that was founded in 2010. The group is based out of Vancouver, Canada.
The main focus of the group is ' figurative art', using the human figure role as a departure, applying a collaborative method to develop ideas and exhibits, holding pop up shows in unexpected settings. For each of their shows one group member artist proposes a theme that the entire group then develops work around.
The group's shows are shorter than typical exhibitions, creating excitement around figurative art for all, not just among academics and industry veterans.
An example of their work is "Everyone I’ve Never Known", which was set up in the courtyard of the hotel The Burrard on April 25, 2014.[1]
'Over The Counter Culture' - A large venue group show related to the impact of drugs on society that was held at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art, in North Vancouver British Columbia in October to December 2015.
The artists in the collective include Michael Abraham, Jeremiah Birnbaum, Jay Senetchko, Paul Morstad, Bruce Pashak, Jonathan Sutton, and Caroline Weaver, in collaboration with curator Pennylane Shen.
