New Arrival: The complete suite of 4 original "Venetian Views" hand-painted prints by British artist Howard Hodgkin. Howard Hodgkin's four "Venetian Views" show the same view of Venice at different times of the day. Each is so distinctly different from the others that it is difficult, at first sight, to believe that all four were printed from the same set of five printing plates. The printed colours, and the hand-colouring applied directly to the paper, vary from one view to another.
Several artists represented by Michael Gibson Gallery have been included in the upcoming 60 Painters exhibition taking place at Humber College School of Arts and Media Studios from May 18th-June 9th 2012. Among the 60 artists, included are Jordan Broadworth, Will Gorlitz, Doug Kirton, John Kissick, Wanda Koop and David Urban.
"Flora and Fauna" looks at how painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors and craftspeople have been inspired by nature over the centuries. This is an exceptionally varied installation in terms of medium, scale and style. It includes drawings, prints, paintings, photographs, sculptures and ceramic works, ranging from the quiet and contemplative to the bold and the audacious. All the works except four are drawn from the collections of the National Gallery. Many great Canadian and international artists are represented, including Lorraine Gilbert, Aganetha and Richard Dyck, Geoffrey James, Bertram Brooker, David Milne, Lucian Freud, M.C. Escher, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frederick Evans, Camille Corot, and Rembrandt.
