Their artwork will feature the following mediums: fibre art, acrylic, oil, encaustics, and pastels. Their focus is on nature either in the use of it in their artwork or what they reference for their creativity. View the depth of the two dimensional fibre art that brings animals and birds to life, the pastels are exquisite with fine detail and the encaustics bring a different element to the show."

Holly Fay’s exhibtion “Drawing Water'“ is at Slate Fine Art Gallery from October 10 - 31, 2024.
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 10 from 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

“Drawing Water” engages with concepts of cycle and flux within the hydrosphere. All water present at the beginning of the planet is present today, cycling through and over the earth, moving through the sky, and moving through all the planet’s beings.

Water unequivocally demonstrates the interconnectivity of all natural phenomena.

I use drawing processes to visually conceptualize the wonder present in the hydrosphere. In my series of large-scale drawings, subtle layers of graphite are applied to paper in successions of building up, lifting, and reapplying. The forms produced are void of defined contours, evoking fluidity and continual flux. Linear marks break up the recessive space of conventional landscape to propose the multidimensional aspects and transitory qualities of water, energy, and physical space.

In creating the Water Graphs series, I worked outside, in concurrency with active precipitation. The resulting exquisitely patterned watercolour and graphite works record the presence, actions, and interactions of the precipitation within the time frame the papers are exposed. Correspondingly, dates and the form of precipitation are recorded in the title of each work.

In creating the States of Flow series, I allowed watercolour and liquidized graphite to do what water does when applied to paper—pool, dilate, bloom, stream and merge. Through brushwork, I controlled the application of media to produce forms suggestive of water in states of solid, liquid and vapour.

Water in liquid, vapour, and solid states make up the life system of the planet.

Coinciding with the need for scientific analyses of the natural world, there is also a necessity for meaning gained through personalized acknowledgement and acclaim for the marvels and wonder present in the natural systems which sustain us. In this time of climate crisis and climate anxiety our felt connection to, and the interconnectedness of all natural phenomena is ever more profound, conspicuous, and present.

“… it’s good to remember that real life isn’t a series of big excitements followed by tipping over. Real life is more like our current autumn season. It’s quiet, thoughtful, sometimes wildly windy, mostly rather beautiful, and full of both change and things not changing.” - Laureen Marchand (Grasslands Gallery Online)

The Gallery / art placement inc. is delighted to present a group show, “AB(stract) EX(hibition)”, featuring several of the many gallery artists also working in the fields of abstraction and non-objective art. Enjoy the variety of styles and approaches, with each artist offering their own unique perspective. Including new and recent works by Douglas Bentham, Robert Christie, Jordan Danchilla, Lorenzo Dupuis, Lynne Graham, Steph Krawchuk, Sandra Ledingham, and Mel Malkin, as well as a selection of historical works by famed Saskatchewan colour-field painter William Perehudoff.

At once minimal and painterly, loose and controlled, geometric and gestural, the works demonstrate Forrest's unique aesthetic sensibility and masterful sensitivity to the medium of paint. Richly saturated colors, elegantly matte surfaces, and an improvisational play with density and structure define this group of works, Forrest’s latest contribution to the lively field of contemporary abstraction.

Born in Scotland, Forrest immigrated to Canada as a teenager, coming of age as a painter in Saskatoon in the 1980s. He relocated to Vancouver Island in 2013 but has maintained a summer studio in rural Saskatchewan, dividing his painting time between the two locations. In a literal sense, the title of the exhibition speaks to this geographic split, acknowledging the influence of place and some of the ways it finds expression in the work. Not necessarily the visual aesthetics of the landscape--the differences in topography, sight-lines, or the quality of the light--but rather in how the studio environment and working pace contribute to the development of the paintings. Vancouver Island offers Forrest proximity to the comforts of home, studio time there is folded into his daily routine. The rural studio, on the other hand, is spacious but also isolated, it necessitates an intensive and largely solitary way of working, longer days, limited contact with the outside world. Subtly, these factors change the work. Ultimately, one of Forrest's greatest strengths as a painter is his openness to these changes. When he arrives in Saskatchewan, it is always with a plan for how he will start out, but also with an eagerness to "see how it goes".

In a less literal sense, the easygoing offhandedness of the exhibition title captures this attitude, which seems so fundamental to Forrest's identity as a painter. Despite his decades of experience, his goal in painting is not "mastery" per se, but rather a state of almost perpetual discovery. Paint is a mercurial medium, fluid, malleable, it bleeds, stains, runs, and drips. The painter's task is arguably to shape the medium to their will. Any painter with a degree of experience learns a great many techniques to make the paint do what they want it to do. A responsive painter learns how to collaborate with the medium; not to beat it into submission but to work with it; not to deny or kill its fluid malleability, but to guide and harness it for dynamic effect. Forrest's latest paintings do just that, finding a compelling balance in the medium's inherent tensions.
