Alberta Printmakers' Society and Artist Proof Gallery2010F 11 St. SE Edmonton artist Kyla Fischer's practice is inspired by personal experiences in nature, and focuses on themes concerning the transience of life and human existence. The work featured in this exhibition is inspired by a poem written in the 11th Century by the Chinese poet, Su Tung-Po. The poem stimulates self-reflection through its descriptive language and written format. An image of sublime nature is presented in two verses, the second being a sort of mirror image of the first, causing one to reflect on the cyclical nature of our existence. The prints in this exhibition are created in response to the lyrical language of the text; the colours, forms, and atmosphere of the printed imagery directly drawn from the poem itself. "Origin Returning" is on display in the Artist Proof Gallery from September 7 to October 15, 2011, with an opening reception on Friday, September 9th from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Admission is free and all are welcome! For more information please visit www.albertaprintmakers.ca. PIY: PRINT IT YOURSELF! Members of the public are invited to visit our studio during this two-day arts festival to learn a variety of printmaking techniques, and create your own original artwork. Experienced print instructors will be on-hand throughout both days to help facilitate the creation of your very own silkscreened t-shirts, drypoint etchings, mono-prints and linoleum block prints. All tools, equipment and materials will be provided free of charge (with the exception of the silkscreened t-shirts - $5 fee).

AXIS Contemporary Art#107 - 100, 7th AVE SW Audrey Mabee: Forgotten Friends "I don't consciously make changes in the way I paint, but through my painting process changes just evolve and happen." For over twenty years, Audrey Mabee's paintings have delighted collectors and will continue to do so with her new series, Snapshots of Forgotten Friends In this series the work is more neutral, more toned down; each painting boasting "one splash of poison" as Mabee describes the colour surprise that jars the eye away from the subtle spell cast by the works' quiet hues. "Snapshots of Forgotten Friends" recalls the sometimes confused, sometimes warm feelings that most of us experience when we find a box of old snapshots and try to remember who those people are or were.

The Weiss Gallery1021 Sixth Street SW (corner of 11 Ave and 6 St - entrance on 6th St.) The Weiss Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new figurative paintings by Montreal-based painter Daniel Barkley. This show will mark his second exhibition in Western Canada. Daniel Barkley's painting is perhaps most revered for his particularly rich handling of paint and his exquisite rendering of the form. His paintings evoke an unexpected curiosity, unselfconsciously exploring human experience. Graduating with both a BFA and MFA from Concordia University, Barkley originally focused his studies in film production. After working in the film industry for a number of years Barkley decided to go back to painting - a talent he had honed in high-school. In addition to his studio practice Barkley is the head scenic artist for Centaur Theatre in Montreal. Daniel Barkley exhibits throughout Canada, United States and internationally. Barkley's painting has been part of a number of invitational figurative/representational themed exhibitions at prominent galleries in New York and San Francisco. Meet the artist at our opening reception on Thursday September 8, from 5 - 8 pm. |
