Current Exhibition
Graphic Chats is a large series of collaged mix media drawings and paintings which mimic the ubiquitous wireless world of internet chats, browsing, tweeting and information seeking, packaged in the style of a graphic novel. The sheer volume of material "out there" conjured up an array of visually stimulating pictograms, which , although unrelated, can spin into imaginative short stories.
I travel through a wide range of random, often symbolic images inspired by current events and situations. The collective arrangement of each panel reads like quick little conversations that constantly bombard us on all levels of our media interactions. This form of brain congestion has turned into little visual vignettes of everything and nothing.
These Graphic Chats, started in 2017, start out as little paintings, with painted of stenciled images on various papers and assembled and adhered to a wood surface. The process is both spontaneous and calculated; the composition reveals itself gradually while the images are secured to the board surface. The work combined representational images with abstract markings, a recognizable characteristic throughout my work

Elaschuk, Knight & Venne
August 22nd to October 1st, 2021
This exhibition presents the viewer with a blend of styles and media. Working with abstract forms, the tapestries, paintings, and sculptures continuously offer the viewer new details to take in and new interpretations to extract from the colourful shapes. Beyond their shared creation energy-charged abstract artworks, Elaschuk, Knight, and Venne represent a microcosm of artistic community; they support, influence, and challenge each other both through their art and in their relationships.

Home and Other Findings // Ce qu'on peut retrouver chez soi
22 February – 6 August 2021
‘Home and Other Findings’ includes compelling works in both collage and mixed media that explore the private realm of ‘the home’, with works like Grandma's Sewing Basket, Our Town, and Lockdown. These often intimate works share memories, glimpsing into the lives of the artists and their families. Coming out of a 'stay at home' order amidst a global pandemic ‘Home and Other Findings’ is a refreshing experience. It’s timely subjects and delicate execution send the viewer into a reflective and thankful state of mind, the perfect dose of art therapy for our recovering and resilient souls.

« Ce qu'on peut retrouver chez soi » comprend des œuvres fascinantes, sous forme de collages et de médias mixtes, qui explorent le domaine privé de la "maison", avec des œuvres comme Grandma's Sewing Basket, Our Town et Lockdown. Ces œuvres souvent intimes partagent des souvenirs, donnant un aperçu de la vie des artistes et de leurs familles. Inspiré par un « confinement à la maison" au milieu d'une pandémie mondiale, « Ce qu'on peut retrouver chez soi », est une expérience rafraîchissante. L’exécution délicate de ces sujets opportuns suscitent chez le spectateur un état de réflexion et d'appréciation, la dose parfaite de thérapie artistique pour nos âmes résiliantes en voie de guérison.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Group of Seven’s first exhibition, the Temiskaming Art Gallery invited artists of Northern Ontario (as defined by the NOAA) and NorthWestern Quebec to submit their own interpretations of Canadian identity. The Group of Seven was highly successful in presenting a unified image of Canadian identity rooted in the motif of the untamed North. TAG acknowledges that this identity was rooted within a singular viewpoint, and we feel that now it is time to diversify our conception of what it means to be Canadian, especially in the north.

Original Group of Seven Artworks
Pour célébrer le 100e anniversaire de la première exposition du Groupe des Sept, la Galerie d'art du Temiskaming a invité des artistes du nord de l'Ontario (tel que défini par la NOAA) et du nord-ouest du Québec à soumettre leurs propres interprétations de l'identité canadienne. Le Groupe des Sept a remporté un vif succès en présentant une image unifiée de l'identité canadienne enracinée dans le motif du Nord indompté. Le GAT reconnaît que cette identité était ancrée dans un point de vue singulier, et nous pensons qu'il est temps maintenant de diversifier notre conception de ce que signifie être Canadien, en particulier dans le Nord.
