On the occasion of our gallery’s tenth anniversary at our current location (eighteen years in all) we are pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by longtime gallery artist Gary Evans.<\/p>\n

In part to honour this milestone we are also organizing a concise fifteen-year survey of his works on paper. Texts by Rosemary Heather and Nell Tenhaaf accompany the exhibition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As with all of Evans\u2019 work, in this new series discreet points of interest vie across the flat plane of the picture for the attention of the viewer. Working within the landscape genre, Evans creates a space invaded by competing vistas of visual possibility: alternating coloured planes, small pictorial realms nestled within thickly inscribed circles or simply solid discs of colour or smudges of paint. Evans has long worked with an all-over compositional style. Pulling against this is the artist\u2019s inclusion of definite structure in each work through the use of the receding sightlines of perspectival space. Typically, contrasting swaths of paint appear to billow out from the surface of the canvas; in Evans\u2019 hands, pictorial disarray is animated to resolve into persuasive coherence.” – wrote Rosemary Heather<\/p>\n
