Kenneth Webb: white noise
November 19 - December 23, 2005 “white noise” is a term used to describe the masking or overlaying of sound to minimize or block out other sounds. This exhibition of work reflects on the desensitizing of photographic image and the process of filtering or interference. Initially these images were constructed as digital files and reinterpreted into paintings. This work incorporates printed photographic images, graphic elements and the handmade painted object. |
Glen Semple: A Bit of Fun October 22 - November 12, 2005 New work by Calgary Photo-Realist painter, Glen Semple. Every household has boxes, drawers, or jars of “junk”- disparate objects thrown together, perhaps overlooked - waiting to be rediscovered in child's play or reclaimed for alternative uses. Glen Semple’s recent work has evolved out of his interest in these containers and their forgotten treasures. Glen Semple’s paintings explore the visual interaction of colors, light, shapes, and textures and the controlled application of color and paint. |
Marjan Eggermont: Now you're half way home...
September 13 - October 15, 2005 Holland born artist, Marjan Eggermont, pays homage to the Dutch landscapes of her youth and in the process continues the legacy of the Dutch Masters. This exhibition draws on Marjan’s homeland memory and is of particular sentiment to the artist as it coincides with the time that Marjan has lived in Canada as long as she had lived in Holland.

Lynn Huntley Wyczolkowski: Nature's Perfection "Beauty echoes deep within botanical forms. A myriad of elegant shapes and architectural like structures flourish in a world of harmony and nuance. My passion is to capture the beauty and balance of florals in a way that stimulates the viewer’s imagination, highlighting vital subtleties so easily missed by the naked eye."

Catherine Hamel: Recent Drawings "This exhibit includes three series of drawings. Mythologies, which illustrate a selection of tales of ancient Gods and Heroes. Dürer Revisited, which isolate delicate details of Albrecht Dürer engraving “Knight, Death and Devil” and use them as points of departure to reinterpret their larger context, and, Captive, which are studies of human fragility in the face of freedom." "The drawings are tied by their technique which experiments with the reduction and erasure of accurately drawn lines. They are reflective pieces used as generators of text, as a way of thinking that allows the line of drawing to search before thought is restricted by words." Catherine Hamel - 2005 |
Reinhard Skoracki: “Unlike black humor, which presents a world gone mad and without hope, Skoracki’s art is admittedly caustic satire, but closer to Pantagruelism – the Rabelaisian philosophy of dealing with serious matters in a spirit of broad and somewhat cynical good humor.” From “Artful Jesters” written by Nicholas Roukes “Reinhard is an intellectual with an ever present smile; he has read widely and at times translated from the “black utopias” literature of Franz Kafka, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, and like a latter day Aristophanes he has been using satire to affect a critical consciousness – not a small feat!” From the catalogue of “Migrations in the Third Dimension: Tradition and Innovation in Canada and the Cyclades” by Caterina Pizanias, Ph.D. |
Jeremy Herndl: In Between Lights "This work is the result of several years of study of urban lights and architecture. Now representation is completely gone and these paintings are purely imaginary. They are spontaneous constructions of fields and planes and the surfaces are bas-reliefs of translucent colours. These layers of colour move within the depth of the painting, in and out of the background and foreground." Jeremy Herndl, 2005 |
