Water Mark & Drowning Ophelia. January 17, 2010 — April 4, 2010
| Description | On View January 17 - April 4, 2010 Water Mark prints by GERARD BRENDER À BRANDIS BRIAN HOLDEN LUCINDA JONES Drowning Ophelia new media, video, photography, painting, and sculptural works by JANET BELLOTTO JOHN DICKSON JANIETA EYRE SUE LLOYD PAULETTE PHILLIPS MÉLANIE ROCAN SHARON SWITZER Gallery Stratford presents the openings of WATER MARK and DROWNING OPHELIA, each a group exhibition comprised of works by artists who examine the role of water from varying perspectives. The images in these exhibitions blur the lines between scientific realism and romantic contextualization, illuminating the expansive interrelationships that exist in both historical and contemporary landscapes. WATER MARK is composed of works by three artists who explore the Grand River and the surrounding organic environments, exploring the appearance of water in the natural world and its contemporary representation in an array of print making techniques and styles. Gerard Brender à Brandis’ work Water: the Great Giver and the Great Taker-Away, presented here derives from a series of images of the Grand River. Brian Holden’s series Water in the Wilderness: Northwestern Ontario comes from his fascination not only with landscape, which is a prominent component in many of his images, but also from the structures and forms found in the many varieties of organic life. In Experiencing Water, Lucinda Jones’ approach to evoking underwater scenes viewed during aquatic passage recalls Islamic Art, where repeated patterns and forms constitute an infinite pattern that extends beyond the visible material world. DROWNING OPHELIA poses several questions such as: How do artists tell stories in their work? How does contemporary art reflect and reveal narrative traditions? How does the art of today record and describe the world around us? And must ‘the real’ be fictionalized in order to be thought? This group show delves into the timely and timeless allegory of Ophelia’s loss of judgment and her subsequent watery demise in an exhibition of new media, video, photography, painting, and sculptural works by these contemporary artists, provoking an exploration and analysis of the influence of water in our time, as well as the possibilities and potentialities found throughout literature and art. |

A Charity Event 3. February 24, 2010
| Description | Dear friends, We hope you are having a great day and enjoying some of the holiday season. We send you good energy for a safe and joyous time. We are contacting you to ask if you can help promote our charity event benefiting Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center. The event is being hosted on Wednesday February 24, 2010 from 6:00PM until 9:00PM. Our event is being hosted again at Waldo’s on King in the Covent Garden Market. We need your help. Please promote our event, feel free to donate silent auction items, make cash contributions or purchase tickets and attend the event. Contact me if you have any questions. This is our third charity event. During the past two events we raised almost $4,000 which was donated to Salthaven. Our events also helped raise awareness about the human impact upon local wildlife. The events were a sell-out and attendees enjoyed listening to the guest speakers Ed Holder, MP for London West and Brian Salt, Director of Salthaven. Please visit our website for a link to Salthaven’s website. I have attached a promotional flyer containing the details for this charity event. Please display it prominently. We are very grateful for your support and appreciate your help making this event a success. Sincerely, Jeve Sukhdeo Jeve’s Pet Care www.jevespetcare.com 519-204-5383 |
