Upcoming Exhibition – Michael Smith

For our 7th solo exhibition with Montreal painter Michael Smith, we are excited to introduce a new body of work where poems have become the primary source of influence. Opening Reception with the artist on Saturday, September 30 from 2-4pm.

Current Exhibition – Ed Zelenak

In our middle gallery, we are showing recent wall sculptures by senior sculptor Ed Zelenak. Inspired by the sun, moon and stars, Zelenak’s work has a subtle spirituality and strong connection to metaphors and symbols.

Artists and Artwork

Curated Artworks

Chantal Khoury

Chantal Khoury engages with Lebanon’s history, personal archives, and postcolonial theory for paintings to display transformation. Her broader practice includes engagement and collaboration with other South West Asian and North...

David Blackwood

David Blackwood’s etchings are rooted in an oral narrative tradition based on the social values of Newfoundland. Each image illustrates a specific story and conveys his strong connection to the Newfoundland landscape and people. His contrasting use of colour and refined etching technique make David Blackwood’s art unique and visually powerful.

Michelle Paterok

Based on twilight walks through her neighbourhood and surrounding parks, Michelle Paterok's plein-air watercolours are poetic paintings of familiar environments. She explores this specific atmospheric effect, mining the invocations of the quality of light within this transitory period of time.

Roly Fenwick

Roly Fenwick visited Newfoundland in the summer of 2016 with his son and daughter. Reminded of the familiar ships docked on the shores of his home town of Owen Sound, ON, Fenwick captured this image of an old ship in Harbour Grace, NFLD. The foggy mist is palpable in this painting where the boat is one with both the water and the town beyond.
