A play on the childhood rhyme with a twist…. This show aims to focus on trees & branches; elements of the forest, and stones & rocks.

This year marks the year of Ronald Bloore’s 100th Birthday.  In celebration of his centenary, this exhibition will cover a vast selection of Bloore’s works. A complex and diverse artist, Bloore made a large mark on Canadian art history, not only with his artwork but as an educator, and past director of the Mackenzie Art Gallery.  This exhibition aims to explore the vastness of his art-making career, with careful attention to paintings, drawing, and sculptures from as early as 1961 to the 2000s.

In the new work, INFINITE FLUX, my ongoing attraction to the Buddhist aesthetic/philosophy of Wabi Sabi still pertains.   Nothing is perfect, nothing lasts, nothing stays the same. Time, space and matter are perpetually swirling and shifting to new dimensions and forms.  In each mixed media piece, I first fix attention on the appearance of an organic form; either a seed, a pod or a bloom of some indeterminate origin. In a meditative trance of careful drawing, I reflect on the apparent perfection of those forms at a single moment in time.

During the winter season as the sun falls low on the horizon, we observe some dramatic lighting.  Many artists embrace the season and try and capture this aspect; others venture into another world to explore the inside world of the mind and imagination.
