JO WREN
A long awaited return brings Jo Wren'snewest work
to the Sandra Whitton Gallery until
November 23, 2008.
Painting in oils, an art which is quickly disappearing from the art scene as acrylics and other modern mediums become primary, the work of Jo Wren is a delight to behold. Reminiscent of Cezanne and Matisse, her works have depth and
a beautiful flow of colour to enhance her compositions.
Jo has returned to painting after a long absence, and Sandra Whitton Gallery is both excited and delighted to have this opportunity to exhibit her new work. Jo lives just outside Kingston, Ontario, and her work can be found in private collections throughout Canada, the United States, England and Australia.
She has had work published by the Literary Press, among others.
Along with a wonderful sense of composition and color,
I find in Jo's work pleasure and delight in living, as well as a sense of mystery about what is going on behind the scene,
which is an invitation to enter into the painting to find out for myself what is really going on!
JOHN SABOURIN
Exhibiting also for this show will beJohn Saborin, a very accomplished stone carver.
John was born and raised in the small community of Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories, Canada. His carvings embrace his Dene culture, bringing stone to life through stories and legends.
The strength and yet delicacy of his technique gives a sense of strength and endurance to these stories and legends.
John is also collected by residents Canada and the United States. As well, he has completed commissions and murals including a granite sculpture for the French Federation in Yellowknife, NWT.
Collaborative work with two other artists resulted in a five foot marble sculpture celebrating the cultural diversity of
Canada's north.
To truly appreciate the work of both these artists, it is essential to see the work in person.I am certain that you will be richer by far after you have been to the gallery for this show.
Show dates are from October 15 to November 23, 2008,
and come and meet the artists on
Sunday, October 26, 2008 from 3 - 6 pm!
SEE YOU THERE!!!
