The Robert Kananaj Gallery is proud to celebrate its one-year anniversary with an exhibition featuring an exciting range of work from both new artists and those represented by the gallery.
This exhibit promotes the diverse scope of the gallery and its fusion of Canadian and international artists. The focus of the exhibition will be the works of Sibylle Schwarz and Jordan Seal who feature at the Robert Kananaj Gallery for the first time.
Sibylle Schwarz works with different mediums, including watercolours, ink, and embroidery on paper, to create delicate yet powerful abstractions of the human form and condition. Sibylle contrasts blocks of vibrant colour with dark lines to explore representations of people and society.
Jordan Seal within his genuinely crafted Eden, confronts utopia and delivers his personal manifesto for artistic practice. Keep an eye on this young upcoming artist, it is worthwhile for anyone to witness his artwork.
Napoleon Brousseau has strong presence with painting, Juan Carlos Noria in his quest through painting, Ivana Kalezic with intricate drawings, and the organic sculpting of Wing Yee Tong.
The Robert Kananaj Gallery was established in 2011, to promote and exhibit Canadian and international contemporary art both locally and internationally.
The gallery’s scope includes installation and photo-based work, as well as a strong commitment to painting and sculpture.
