Art of Nature 2008 is a fundraising sale of Canadian art inspired by the natural world – or by the degradation of the natural world. The work ranges from the iconic to the ironic. Last year, Art of Nature contributed over $100,000 to Canadian environmental organizations, a splendid result for a first-time event.

SCULPTURAL IMAGES – Bret Culp
May 16 to June 9, 2007
Reception
is Thursday May 4, 7-9pm, artist in attendance
Leonardo Gallery is pleased to present a new exhibition
of photographic works as an official venue of the CONTACT Photography festival
Roots
creep over rock searching for refuge and nourishment, neglected
bricks and mortar crumble under the elements and return to the
earth, a mountain is slowly devoured by the sea forming a precipice
– these are photographs of matter governed by time chosen to illustrate
the relentless determination of nature, the beauty in impermanence,
and the eternal cycle of creation out of destruction.

Leonardo Gallery is pleased to present a new exhibition

of contrasting vast landscapes, this exhibition gives

about the strength of the human will and fortitude of
our fragile bodies.

Lehouck
Opening reception is Thursday February 16,
6-9 pm
Artists present Saturday March 4, 1-3 pm
Terra Incognita
Photographs by Véronique Lehouck and Bret Culp
Véronique Lehouck and Bret Culp are two Canadian landscape photographers.
Their work shows a shared awareness of one of nature’s great paradoxes – its
frailty versus its resilience. Terra Incognita is an exploration of this paradox.
Véronique
and Bret are drawn to locales that are majestic and
magical.
The figureless environments have and abstract quality that evokes a human dimension.
Some resemble parts of the body, while others suggest more symbolic aspects
of existence.
Both
artists work in the Canadian film and television industry.
Véronique developed her photographic eye by
working as a cinematographer for many years and she
now produces educational videos. Bret is visual effects
supervisor for feature films and the director of visual
effects at C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, Canada's largest
visual effects studio.

February
3 to March 19, 2006 - "CONVERGENCE"
43rd Annual Juried Exhibition of the Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery
On view in the North Gallery from February 3
to March 19, 2006.
Opening reception and awards presentation Friday February 10 at 8 pm
This
exhibition is one of the most popular events on the
Tom Thomson Art Gallery calendar. It is an opportunity
to survey current visual arts practice by a wide range
of artists, from graduating students to senior members
of the visual arts community, in all fine art media
including the traditional: painting, drawing, printmaking,
photography and sculpture; as well as the contemporary
craft media and time-based formats.
The
exhibition aims to reward excellence and innovation
in artistic production. Since this annual show "takes
the pulse" of art making in the region, we look
for work that exemplifies what makers are thinking
about- contemporary artists' concerns, working methods,
and methods of exploration.
This
year the Gallery has assembled a strong jury to select
the exhibition from works submitted from all over Ontario.
Celebrated painter and visual artist Alan Glicksman
had a much-lauded exhibition at Engine Gallery in Toronto
in Fall 2005 and recently relocated to Owen Sound.
Printmaker and multi-media artist Steven White from
Walter's Falls is represented by Edward Day Gallery
in Toronto. Dr. Katharine Lochnan, the R. Fraser Elliott
Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Art Gallery of
Ontario in Toronto recently produced the blockbuster
exhibition Turner Whistler Monet and the touring show
David Milne Watercolours: "Painting Toward the
Light" that opens at the AGO in February.
