Roy Arden
Roy Arden’s photography is currently on view at the Sprengel Museum (Hannover), as part of the group exhibition True Pictures. The exhibition presents work by more than thirty North American artists spanning three generations whose photography is informed by our digital age—both through their employment of digital technologies and in terms of their engagement with the “flood of images” that defines visual culture of the twenty-first century.

Graham Gillmore
Recent paintings by Gillmore present a dynamic layering of text with botanical forms, some of which reference Matisse’s “Cut-Outs.” While Matisse made his forms using scissors and colourful paper, Gillmore uses an air compressor to produce unexpected shapes that are organic and textured.

Colleen Heslin
Recently exhibited at the Kamloops Art Gallery, Heslin’s describes her latest canvases as “mapping energy through colour and form.” Containing only the essential information and vibrating with line and colour, Heslin’s meditations encompass the vital energy necessary for life, evoking natural phenomenon, including the light of the sun, the glow of the moon, and the cycles of a day and a season. Her abstractions draw on spiritual meditation paintings from 17th century Hindu Tantras in Rajasthan, India, 19th century Amish quilt designs, along with 1960s Minimalism.

Collin Johanson
Johanson’s fluid compositions inspire a visual intensity with sweeping gestures across the canvas that maintain a tension between surface and depth. Dream-like and fractured in nature, his paintings inspire prolonged contemplation.
Holger Kalberg
Kalberg’s abstract canvases convey the ambiguities, tensions and search for identity within contemporary life. Often reflective and in critique of the history of painting by layering and collaging aspects of modernist painting, investigating how this is perceived within a contemporary context.

Jonathan Syme
Jonathan Syme’s gestural and atmospheric works break away from placid and untimely restrictions of the past without succumbing to tropes by utilizing agitation as a moniker for the ambiguous mysteries of working with oil paint today. Whether regarded as internalized landscapes or projected spirit-scapes, the openness of his works lends itself to visceral and highly charged transmutations of spiritual inquiry designed to stand the mysteries of time- space.
