Looking Forward To Yesterday
Louis de Niverville
Apr 10, 2004 – Apr 29, 2004
Louis de Niverville's paintings stand between reality and fiction. His art reaches another plateau - a colourful, imaginative world of fantasy created with an elaborate, highly technical collage treatment. Yet he maintains simplicity throughout. This artist is able to bring out the child in the most hardened adult. However, even the very seasoned collector will remain in awe of his meticulous technique where precision and fantasy are so intertwined that they become a single expression.

SCANQUEST
Nancy Boyd
Jan 20, 2004 – Feb 12, 2004
The title of this series of artworks says much about their nature. The term itself comes from the text on an MRI, a magnetic resonance image, taken a fews years ago of my brain. I used a hundred or more line drawings of the brain as part of a series called Resonance Imaging. Those delicate intricate and often cryptic organic forms in the drawings intrigued me. When parts of the drawings were isolated or enlarged, they looked more like amoeba or bifurcating organisms than anything as specific as ...
