Keeping Canada and the World Beautiful AUGUST 2009/AOUT 2009GLOBAL ART EXHIBITIONS - PHOTOGRAPHYChronological Listing of Openings
AUGUST 1, SATURDAY/SAMEDI 1 AOUT
AUGUST 6, THURSDAY/JEUDI 6 AOUT Rachel MacFarlane, Carlos & Jason Sanchez, John Scott and Michael Smith. Martin Bureau explores the tension between nature and technology. His recent paintings depict hybrid creatures – birds of migration and fighter planes. These paintings seek, in both image and physical application of paint, a balance between construction and destruction, harmony and turmoil. Rachel MacFarlane uses tiny maquettes of found refuse as reference for her chaotic painted worlds. In these disorienting illusions, discarded objects transform and become weightless, anthropomorphic and monumental. The photographs of brothers Carlos and Jason Sanchez explore the psychological landscape of contemporary society. Documentary in appearance yet carefully staged, their images reveal the deep, complex and shifting meanings behind issues from the mass media as well as our collective unconscious. Michael Smith paints sites of history and war, yet the works are highly abstracted to emphasize elemental force and sensation such as movement, heat and light. The resulting imagery is in a constant state of flux, on the brink of dissolution. John Scott's drawings depict icons of history, religion, war, politics, science fiction and technology and prophesize the fragmenting of our psyche by technology and war. His latest series of Dark Commanders are looming omens, shadows of an ominous world.. Till August 22, 2009 Au 22 Aout 2009.
