Vincent's work can best be described as traditional English-Japanese ideas taken to the next level with crisp form, clean lines accentuated with a vast spectrum of stoneware and salt fired glazes. He finds great comfort in the relationship between the user, food, the maker and utility.

"Shared joy is increased, shared grief is diminished. Thus do we refute
entropy." Spider Robinson, like me a New York City-born Canadian,
hadn't yet written those words 25 years ago this month when I learned
their truth. Sitting aboard my boat in an isolated North coast port
town, the CBC evening concert was interrupted by a news flash: John
Lennon had just been shot in New York and was declared dead on arrival
at hospital.
One's first reaction to such news is immediately to shar ...

Perhaps best known for his approach to illumination, Bruce Woycik is an artist with an impressive and varied body of work. His paintings, suffused with a distinctive manipulation of light, create an alluring drama of radiance and shadow.
Woycik is adept at inducing a mood with his artistic choices. Sensitive coloration of shore and water, an overcast day that captures the cool yet beautiful atmosphere - his work exudes an underlying energy beneath the surface. Though often calm ...

It is dangerous for many artists, who are individualists, to attempt a collaboration. But we believe it is possible within the printmaking world. Print artists require the use of both human hands and tools (traditional or new). Therefore, the artist must depend upon outside processes not only themselves. Already printmaking is a kind of collaboration with some hidden potential.
This exhibition is the result of a collaboration that we commenced in 2002. However, the first work was not ...

The Emperor's New Clothes
Could have done well with an umbrella or two on Friday night when Joanna Staniszkis previewed her newest installation of the above title at The Elliott Louis Gallery. A couple of hundred art observers were not about to let a downpour rain on her parade. They packed the Waterfront Gallery's opening reception in support of Joanna's latest work ...

Jane Adams Western Journey
Western Journey is an exciting new departure for me because, for several years, I have painted mostly expressionistic variations of florals, moving in and out of abstraction.
The summer of 2004 brought a range of new ideas when I had the opportunity to drive across our western provinces as far as Lake of the Woods in western Ontario. I kept to the back roads off Highway 13 and, for the first time, saw the immensity of our country. My mind ...

Though formally trained in the realist schools of painting in the Netherlands, Peter John Voormeij has become recognized for his expressionist style - abstract creations that vibrate with an intensity of colour and vigorous line. Best known for his paintings on the 2100 square meter ceilings of the Council of State Building, in the Hague, his visual language is influenced by his passion for literature and music.
