This
holiday season join us at Marianne Newman Gallery for our latest
exhibition Beyond
the surface of the page... Professor
Ron Newman will open the exhibition on Friday November 19th
from 6-8pm.
Curated
by Meghan Carpenter the theme of this group show is based on a
quotation from Italo Calvino's "The Adventure of a Reader",
"Beyond the surface of the page you entered a world where life was
more alive than here on this side...".
Responding to Calvino's sentiment, artists have produced works
depicting a world of colour and mystery, of live and imaginary
realms.
The
artists featured include Geoffrey Adams, Marina Bishop, Susan
Cowley-Carrasco, Rosemary Christmas, Peter Day, Robert Enemark, Linda
Galbraith, Angela Gill, Pamela Griffith, Sue Hanckel, Nathalie
Hartog-Gautier, Jo Hollier, Patrick Hromas, Heather Kepski, Soyoun
Kim, Dana Lundmark, Penelope Lee, Maryann Mussared, Marie
Peter-Toltz, Christine Shoji, Laura Stark, Lynne Sung, Kerry Thompson
and Kay Watanabe whose works display a broad range of approaches to
art.
Overall
there is a playful ambience, presented in the form of proud roosters
in the spotlight, a child playing, sailboats floating under a full
moon and found books transformed into exquisite sculptural objects. A
range of mediums is used by this group of talented artists who work
with oils, acrylics, digital prints, mixed media and diverse
printmaking techniques. There is a search for significance in both
the known and unknown, depicted in images of an ethereal mossy
forest, a linocut composed of strong silhouettes, a beautifully
crafted collaborative book and abstracted underwater landscapes.
Please
join us for an exhibition sure to please and a chance to explore the
possibilities of what lies Beyond
the surface of the page...
