    “Vibrant colours have the inherent quality of being uplifting.  Brightness cheers us.  As we come out of our protective and restrictive interiors to the sunshine and freshness of a dawning summer season, our hearts lift and we miraculously adapt a skip to our step despite the dire predicament of our current collective experience.  We need to be lifted up – especially right now.

    I used to own a pair of bright yellow corduroy pants.  They weren’t the best fit or the most flattering to my figure but I was always struck by how happy wearing them made me feel.  Every time I looked down at my legs, I felt inexplicably happy.  It was like turning my face up to the sun and feeling a gentle heat kiss my skin.  It literally brightened my day.

    It is this uplifting ‘sun seeking’ ethos that governs the current work of artists Vadim Vaskovsky and Teresa Mrozicka.  Vaskovsky looks to the lure of southern locations for his body of work titled Guitars and Moons.  The canvases encapsulating and transporting us to a south summer idyll where life has a calm stillness and warmth and the sounds of happy ease surround.  The viewer travels to a happy place.  Mrozicka finds her sunshine and light in the garden – In Her Golden Land- where rolling hills and blanketing skies are likened to feminine curves and earth’s mothering nature.  The artist embraces the in and out cycles of seasonal living to motivate and guide her artistic practice.  Her work always plays to this joy in nature.

    It is in this vibrancy of light and colour that places these two artists eye to eye.  Where their inspiration and their expression meet to bring the viewer a bit of warmth and comfort that is so needed when we come out of the dark of winter and the coolness of shade whether that be figurative or literal.  This is a time to look up and feel inexplicably happy – and, if you are so inclined, to take a slice of this sunshine into your own world – to gaze upon and find cheer whenever you need it.” 

    – Ally Jacob, Director, Studio22

    Paintings by Vadim Vaskovsky

    Guitars and Moons by Vadim Vaskovsky will open on Tuesday, July 7th and run until Saturday, August 15th. This vibrant, colourful and uplifting exhibit falls under Studio22’s 2020 vision idiom Seeing Eye to Eye and is showing concurrently to In Her Golden Land by Teresa Mrozicka.

    Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place from Tuesday, July 7th to Friday, July 10th.  Normal gallery hours will resume July 7thand exhibits open to the general public for purchase on Saturday July 11th.   On this opening day, the gallery will be holding a Drop Across with the artists in attendance from 1 to 4 pm.  Numbers will be monitored for safety but all are welcome to stop by to meet and speak with the artists and view the exhibits.

    Artist Statement:

    Work knows what it wants.  Form tells me about itself.  I search for concrete forms of my sensations and perceptions.  I paint and translate. This language has its roots in synthetic cubism developed by Picasso and Braque a hundred years ago. 

    Guitars, moons, mouse, dog, cat, seagull looking at a melon, mandolines, palms and musicians., these are the ‘talking’ or ‘singing’ elements of this series. I tell some stories yet try to find that transition point of when paint applied to canvas transforms into what it represents, whether that be a guitar or a moon. I want strokes and fills to remain material in texture, shape and pigment to achieve an ornamental look of the painting. Brushes, palette knives, combs and sticks are used in the impasto method of applying oil and acrylic paints.

    Biography:

    Vadim Vaskovsky, born in 1973, spent his childhood in Central Asia, Russia, and Ukraine before moving to Canada in 2002. The artist takes inspiration from various locales and themes, including his adopted home in Prince Edward County. 
     
    Since graduating from the Grekov Art College in Odessa, Ukraine in 1990, his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and publications. His art works can be found in private and public collections in Europe, Canada and the United States.

    In Her Golden Land.

    The Land I have the privilege to work on has its own body, spirit and mind. In summer I work with the tangible, taking care of my garden. It involves planting, sowing, weeding, watering, and finally harvesting. In winter I work with the metaphysical – “gardening” in the Land of vivid colours, shapes and imagination.

    I paint seasonally, staying in touch with the spirit and mind of the Land. 

    Fully present in all seasons,
    She is my muse and my work companion.
    I grow vegetables so that my body can be sustained.
    I plant flowers for my soul to experience beauty.

    I practice painting to connect with the spirit of Her Land.

     

    Bio

    Originally from Poland, Teresa Mrozicka received her training in fine arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, and  graphic arts at George Brown College in Toronto.

    “I feel very fortunate to live in Canada, a country that has given me the opportunity to follow my passion. Growing up in a small town in Poland I didn’t have the opportunity to see original paintings of great masters, but that didn’t stop me from looking at the reproductions of famous paintings for hours. Right there the passion for art was born. The colour, texture and form was so vivid and rich, the impression on my mind so deep and intense, I thought that only a very gifted person could become an artist, never considering becoming one myself. Then life took its course and led me to studying and later practicing painting. Having been painting for more than 30 years, I came to the conclusion that it’s not skill or technique that is crucial, but … the passion to be creative and expressive in every step of life and to have the courage of tuning inwards and enlivening the spirit”.

    Mrozicka lives in a country home north of Sydenham, Ontario, where she is doing two of the things she loves the most – painting and gardening.
