Gallery Gevik<\/strong> is pleased to present an exhibition celebrating Kingston’s rich contribution to the Canadian art scene. The home of the oldest Arts Council in Ontario and one of the most notable public art collections at Queen’s University’s Agnes Etherington Centre, Kingston is a vibrant artistic hub.\u00a0 Gallery Gevik is proud to exhibit the works of artists Diane<\/strong> Black<\/strong>, Jane<\/strong> Colden<\/strong>, Pauline<\/strong> Conley<\/strong>, Jane<\/strong> Derby<\/strong> and Lori Richards<\/strong> whose paintings and sculptures reflect the creativity and inspiration of this region.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diane Black<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s love of character and visual narratives are rooted in her early studies. In recent years, Black<\/strong> has developed her blacksmithing skills and has incorporated her own ironwork into her sculptures. Black<\/strong> draws her inspiration from the people and the environment of Kingston, where she has been a resident for twenty years. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Jane Colden<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s love of the natural interaction between organic and structured form inspires her artwork. By choosing paint as her medium, Colden<\/strong> is able to turn not only her subject matter but also the painting process into a method of understanding the world around her. <\/em><\/p>\n

Pauline Conley<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s paintings deviated from the non-representational when she began working with the idea of the horizon line as a friction point between the known and the unknown. Conley<\/strong>\u2019s challenging abstract works use grids and patterns as evocative metaphors for our shared daily experience. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Jane Derby<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s art evokes the inspiration that she finds in cast off and undervalued items. Her fascination with surface textures and the physical properties of the objects she selects for her artwork reflect the landscape surrounding Kingston and enable her to create visually appealing relief works.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

For Lori Richards<\/strong>, painting stems from the emotional connection that binds the artist, the landscape and the viewer. By experimenting with different media and colour, Richards creates works inspired by memory and imagination, which lead both viewer and herself on a journey of self-discovery. <\/em><\/p>\n
