The exhibit at Grey Roots best represents the Woodland artists, spearheaded by Norval Morrisseau and an incredible support cast. They include: Isaac Bignell, Blair DeBassige, James Simon, Carl Beam, Leland Bell, Josh Kakegamic, David Williams, David Morrisseau and many others.
Aerial Perspectives and Maritimes: Landscape Views
June 15, 2009
Patric Ryan
Patric Ryan brings his new collection of maritime memories in colours that build from his vivid fauvist palette into subtler atmospheric shades and lights. An interesting aspect of Ryan’s contribution to this exhibition is a number of ink and wash studies that later became templates for his large acrylic paintings. It is a fascinating look at a single artist’s dual interpretations of a single image.
Bruce Steinhoff
Bruce Steinhoff brings his bold broad brush strokes to the shores of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron with vivid energetic imagery from an impressionist palette, much to the enjoyment of all. Steinhoff is a recent addition to the Gallery de Boer – Fine Art family.
John Visser
John Visser’s vibrant impressionist colour-plays of subjects are evocative of the serenity of nature. Many of Visser’s Ontario landscapes are recognizably local settings which showcase the beauty of the Grey-Bruce landscape.
Grand Opening and Reception Friday June 19th
June 15, 2009
As the light ascends to the north and we again celebrate the Summer Solstice, the qualities of light are changing radically and often delightfully, animating our days and our vision. Gallery artist Patric Ryan brings his new collection of maritime memories, John Visser and his impressionist brushwork exploring this transitional light throughout our landscapes and Bruce Steinhoff, who brings his bold broad brush strokes to the shores of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. Aerial Perspectives and Maritimes connect us to memories, imagination and the immediacy of the fleeting light of this very moment.
A Grand Opening Reception will be held Friday June 19th to officially launch this newest exhibition from Gallery de Boer – Fine Art & Jazz. From 7 to 9:30 p.m. you can peruse the gallery, meet the artists and enjoy a beverage. Please join us for this exciting new show.
