SUMMARY:Full Circle
DESCRIPTION:Artists: Dave Colvin & Leon Pewarchuk \nNovember 28 to December 17\, 2024 \nGallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday\, 11am to 5pm. Evenings by appointment. \nFirst Friday\, extended hours\, December 6\, 11am to 9pm\, both artists in attendance both days. \nMeet the Artist times: Leon: Thursday\, Nov. 28\, 29\, 30; Tuesday Dec. 3\, 5\, 6\, 7\, Wednesday Dec. 11\, 13\, 14\, Tuesday Dec. 17. \nDave: Thursday\, Nov 28\, 29\, 30; Wednesday Dec. 4\, 6\, 7\, 10\, Thursday Dec. 12\, 13\, 14 & Tuesday\, Dec. 17 \nDeveloping from an unexpected reunion after 45 years without contact\, an art teacher and his student have come together for a joint exhibition. This unique showcase\, not only highlights their individual talents but also celebrates the enduring bond of friendship\, shared creativity\, and the power of reconnection. \nWith a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba\, Leon Pewarchuk became a teacher of Art\, Advertising Art and Graphic Design. In his 25 years of retirement\, he returned to painting with oil on canvas for his own pleasure\, inspired by his years at the cottage in Northwestern Ontario and his love of the outdoors. \nThrough his paintings\, he expresses his creativity with vibrant\, colourful landscapes drawn from his imagination and his real life visual experiences. The resulting work is both evocative and compelling. \nDave Colvin is an inveterate people-watcher. \nHis fascination with aspects of the human condition has been a constant throughout his life… as an artist\, playwright\, parent\, husband\, and clinician. \nAlthough geared toward a future in visual communications and illustration art\, his life took a decidedly different trajectory after high school\, which ultimately led to a long and satisfying career in the behavioral health field. As such\, he chooses to reflect human emotion through his artwork. \nFleshing out these emotional memories are key to the examination of Colvin’s art. \nGiven that yearning is said to be a blend of the primary emotions of love and sadness\, this is no small task. \nDave draws inspiration from the Early Netherlandish painting schools\, and creative sources as diverse as the outsider work of Henry Darger. The narrative compositions of Jessie Oonark\, Pieter Bruegel\, and the single-panel\, darkly comedic cartoons of Gahan Wilson. \nHis quasi-realistic pieces are also driven by dreams\, psychedelia\, and too many hours poring over Graphis magazines in Commercial Art class. \nColvin’s commission works hang in private collections across North America and the UK. He has also been short-listed multiple times in the Manitoba Society of Artists open juried competitions. \nCurrently\, atypical watercolour is his go-to\, but any combination of water-soluble media including acrylic\, acrylic pen\, India ink\, and gouache is fair game. \nDavid Colvin’s ARTIST STATEMENT \nAlthough my work is primarily representational and features hints of the surreal\, at the centre of all that I try to accomplish artistically\, is to evoke a measure of personal identification in the viewer.\nMy pieces are presented with buried narratives; unclear stories that will often be translated differently by each individual.\nI try to accomplish this by introducing dichotomies and visual metaphors\, such as holy men reveling while basilicas burn\, curling rocks made from jam cans\, errant tricycles lodged in tree canopies\, and tumbling umbrellas that twist through wind-whipped skies above darkened neighborhoods.\nThrough this exhibit\, it is my goal to evoke the emotional memories of those who see my work\, and to challenge them to look more carefully at their own worlds.

SUMMARY:Looking Back\, Moving Forward: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:by Earl Rina. \nThursday\, January 9 to Tuesday January 21\, 2025 \nTuesday to Saturday\, 11am to 5pm. \nMeet the Artist Times: Wednesday\, Fridays & Saturdays: 1pm to 5pm. \nArtist Statement: Playful Picturesque: Artfully demonstrates the connection between our daily experiences and the broader themes of sexuality\, identity\, culture\, and the natural environment. A whimsical take on the exploration of movement\, emotions\, and adventurous colorful figurative visuals to show a connection between our daily encounters with our sexuality\, identity\, culture\, and natural environment. I utilize bright and vivid colors\, along with figurative shapes and humorous elements\, to deliberately create contrast and irony within my art. This approach allows me to explore these serious connections in a lighthearted yet thought-provoking manner. \nChlorophyll\, Grassland\, Horizons\, and Blossoms: The interconnectedness of emotional experiences with the significance and splendor of our natural world. \nChlorophyll: This series is a collection of acrylic paintings that celebrate the beauty and emotions of plants. Through each brushstroke and fluidity of color\, I express the connection we have with nature and how it affects us physically and mentally. These paintings invite the viewer to enter a world where plants are amazing and remind us of the comfort and mixed emotions they give us throughout the seasons. The Chlorophyll series is a tribute to our shared experiences with plants and how they enrich our lives and remind us how important nature is to us. \nGrassland:. The purpose of my artwork is to relay a vision of joyfulness\, in particular\, the connection between our daily encounters with our environment and the changing seasons. The environment that my artwork aims to show is the beauty of the forest\, partly the boreal forest and the prairie woodlands and grasslands of Manitoba to make a statement and give meaning to their importance. \nHorizon: A collection of photographs of the beautiful sky\, showcasing the changing seasons\, weather\, and time of day. I use natural light\, wide angles\, and minimal editing to create a realistic and immersive experience. \nBlossom: Captures the beauty and diversity of plants and their flowers/fruits in photography. It showcases the vibrant colors\, shapes\, and textures of different floral species\, as well as the emotions and moods they evoke. It celebrates the joy and wonder of nature’s creations. \nShort Biography: \nEarl Rina (b. 1987) is an interdisciplinary visual artist\, closely connected to their Filipino-Canadian heritage. Raised in the Philippines and later immigrating to Canada\, Earl Rina has successfully merged their passion for healthcare and the arts\, initially serving as a Registered Nurse and Visual Artist in the Philippines until 2018. Currently residing in Winnipeg\, Canada\, Earl Rina is dedicated to expanding their artistic education. Having completed an Art Program Diploma from the Stratford Career Institute (2021)\, they are now pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours Degree at the University of Manitoba’s School of Art. \nIn their artistic practice\, Earl Rina employs an array of media and techniques to explore and discover the intricacies of movement\, natural patterns\, and symbolic landscapes. Their work explores emotional experiences and the complex web of our daily interactions\, thoughtfully addressing social themes such as sexuality\, identity\, and the nuances of Filipino-Canadian culture\, all while maintaining a connection to the natural environment. Earl Rina’s multifaceted approach to art reflects a commitment to creating a dialogue on the inevitable connections that shape our world. \nEarl Rina’s work\, themed “Playful Picturesque\,” presents a whimsical exploration of movement and emotions through adventurous and colorful figurative visuals. This series artfully demonstrates the connection between our daily experiences and the broader themes of sexuality\, identity\, culture\, and the natural environment. The collections titled “Chlorophyll\,” “Grassland\,” “Horizon\,” and “Blossom” delve into the interconnectedness of emotional experiences with the significance and splendor of our natural world.

SUMMARY:Weird Feelings
DESCRIPTION:Marie Bodnar\, Frankie Fauna & Kendall Stelmack \nMarie Bodnar\nJanuary 23 to February 11\, 2025 \nTuesday to Saturday\, 11am to 5pm. \nFirst Friday\, February 7\, 11am to 9pm\, meet Marie & Frankie\, 5-9pm\, more TBA. \nAdditional Meet the Artist times: \nMeet Marie: Thursday Jan 23\, Friday\, 24 (11-2ish); Tuesday\, Wednesday\, Thursday\, Jan 28-30 (11-2ish); Thursday\, Friday\, Saturday\, Feb 6-8 (11-2ish) \nMeet Frankie: Thursday Jan 23rd & Saturday January 25th 12-2ish \nMeet Kendell: No times given. \nFrankie Fauna\nExhibition Statements: \nMarie Bodnar’s intent was to paint memories of travel over two decades which led her to thinking about “home”. She romanticizes trees and bushes in the Interlake. Only a few paintings resulted with actual travel themes and all with hints\, strokes\, and splashes of neon pink! \nFrankie Fauna’s artistic practice is a journey of exploration and experimentation\, where every piece is a testament to their passion for pushing the boundaries of traditional media. Integrating various materials\, they craft visually striking compositions\, inviting viewers to experience a sense of wonder and contemplation. \nKendall Stelmack is a self trained multimedia artist with a current hyper fixation of the TV show Feud : Capote versus the Swans. Inspired to create with the seven deadly sins as a theme\, along with inspiration from the television show\, she juxtaposes women represented as New York royalty from the mid-century\, 1960s modern era. Sins are featured as semi monochromatic oil paintings representing them as characters\, in an appropriate colour matching their sin as they navigated their life through marriages\, family life\, heartbreaks\, and society gossip. Another series of seven oil paintings\, feature flowers\, representing the sins to show their fragility and strength of character. \nArtist Bios: \nMarie Cecile has been taking art classes\, crafting and loving still life sketch drop-ins since moving to “the big city” of Winnipeg. Inspired mostly by travel\, nude people (not so many men though) and neon pink. They stick to acrylic and acrylic inks\, building loose and messy layers\, while enjoying the process. \nFrankie Fauna is a multifaceted artist who blends fibers and paints to create evocative and engaging works. Known for their playful approach to materials\, Frankie explores unique ways to harmonize color and texture\, resulting in pieces that captivate and inspire. Each artwork reflects a deep commitment to the transformative power of creativity\, embodying the belief in “art through healing and healing through art.”

DESCRIPTION:“INDECENT is the tonic for anyone’s cynicism. It reminds me of why I love the theatre so much.” – Broadway World \nFrom Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel comes a stunning play about one of the most shocking events in theatre history. Indecent tells the true story of the rise and explosive demise of the 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s The God of Vengeance\, where its producer and entire cast were arrested on the grounds of obscenity. \nAsch’s play originated in Poland in 1907\, and while criticized by his peers\, it wowed audiences across Europe and in New York’s Yiddish theatre scene. But when an English translation opens on Broadway\, the play’s inclusion of the first same-sex kiss on an American stage proves too scandalous for the public. Told through music\, song\, dance and comedy\, Indecent is an arresting play about forbidden love\, artistic censorship and the enduring power of theatre.
