Vessels for the Home and Table
Vincent & Cheryl Massey

Nov 25, 2005 – Nov 26, 2005

Vincent's work can best be described as traditional English-Japanese ideas taken to the next level with crisp form, clean lines accentuated with a vast spectrum of stoneware and salt fired glazes. He finds great comfort in the relationship between the user, food, the maker and utility.

All of Cheryl's baskets are rooted in nature. Whether it is kelp, cedar or tule rush, Cheryl gathers the material, then dries and soaks it before she begins the weaving process. Weaving with the materia ...

Give Peace a Chance: John’s Legacy
Gerry Deiter

Nov 22, 2005 – Nov 22, 2005

"Shared joy is increased, shared grief is diminished. Thus do we refute entropy." Spider Robinson, like me a New York City-born Canadian, hadn't yet written those words 25 years ago this month when I learned their truth. Sitting aboard my boat in an isolated North coast port town, the CBC evening concert was interrupted by a news flash: John Lennon had just been shot in New York and was declared dead on arrival at hospital.

One's first reaction to such news is immediately to shar ...

Bruce Woycik
Bruce Woycik

Nov 22, 2005 – Dec 18, 2005

Perhaps best known for his approach to illumination, Bruce Woycik is an artist with an impressive and varied body of work. His paintings, suffused with a distinctive manipulation of light, create an alluring drama of radiance and shadow. 

Woycik is adept at inducing a mood with his artistic choices. Sensitive coloration of shore and water, an overcast day that captures the cool yet beautiful atmosphere - his work exudes an underlying energy beneath the surface. Though often calm ...

Wayne Eastcott / Michiko Suzuki

Nov 03, 2005 – Nov 20, 2005

It is dangerous for many artists, who are individualists, to attempt a collaboration. But we believe it is possible within the printmaking world. Print artists require the use of both human hands and tools (traditional or new). Therefore, the artist must depend upon outside processes not only themselves. Already printmaking is a kind of collaboration with some hidden potential.

This exhibition is the result of a collaboration that we commenced in 2002. However, the first work was not ...

Could have done well with an umbrella or two on Friday night when Joanna Staniszkis previewed her newest installation of the above title at The Elliott Louis Gallery.

Jane Adams - Western Journey
Jane Adams

Mar 10, 2005 – Apr 05, 2005

Jane Adams Western Journey 

Western Journey is an exciting new departure for me because, for several years, I have painted mostly expressionistic variations of florals, moving in and out of abstraction. 

The summer of 2004 brought a range of new ideas when I had the opportunity to drive across our western provinces as far as Lake of the Woods in western Ontario. I kept to the back roads off Highway 13 and, for the first time, saw the immensity of our country. My mind ...

Through Dutch Eyes
Peter John Voormeij

Jan 18, 2005 – Feb 06, 2005

Though formally trained in the realist schools of painting in the Netherlands, Peter John Voormeij has become recognized for his expressionist style - abstract creations that vibrate with an intensity of colour and vigorous line.  Best known for his paintings on the 2100 square meter ceilings of the Council of State Building, in the Hague, his visual language is influenced by his passion for literature and music.

"Through ...
