Upcoming Exhibitions
Jennifer Hornyak: Merging
October 21 - November 15, 2023
“Merging” was chosen in order to highlight how my work has transitioned over the last few years, from a more defined image to a more abstract vision. Shown are oil paintings on canvas or board intermixed with works on paper to further emphasize the transitional nature of the two styles. - Jennifer Hornyak An excerpt from her book, Jennifer Hornyak by David Malboeuf & Rima Hammond, we catch a glimpse into the beauty and work of Hornyak: “Jennifer looks at the world around her and its attentive to the details that reveal traces of that omnipresent beauty, as it will undoubtedly inspire future paintings. Rather than attempt to replicate such instances, she prefers to portray their essence in her art. “We cannot reproduce nature,” she says, when discussing the role of the artist, “nor should we want to. All we can do is see and feel, and aim to transcend ourselves. Opening Reception: Saturday, October 21, 2023 from 2-5pm
Kenneth Lochhead: Light & Shadows
October 21 - November 15, 2023
Kenneth Lochhead was a of the members of the Regina Five, and head of the art department at the University of Regina in the 50’s and 60’s. He was instrumental in putting western Canada on the map of the world of abstract expressionism at the time. A mover and shaker at the age of 24. Without this time of exploration in abstract painting, he would not have developed the loose and confident brushwork in his later landscape and forest interior works. This exhibition focuses on his later landscape works. These works elicit a boldness with their simplicity, and a tranquility with his luscious sense of colour and movement. His ability to elicit a mood and light in his work is undeniable. His works are simply bold. The show will whisk you away to a far-off land, a vacation from now to another world, a world that Lochhead has created. Opening reception: Saturday, October 21 from 2-5pm
