  • Keight MacLean – Eternal

    Keight MacLean – Eternal

     Solo Exhibition
    Eternal by KEIGHT MACLEAN
    October 4th – October 28th

    Working from historical references of women long passed but forever enduring, this body of work remixes and re-imagines their portraits through Keight MacLean’s personal lens. Enlivening the traditional imagery with a playfulness in contemporary media, including spray paint and paint marker and experimental applications of traditional media, including gold leaf, MacLean explores her own place in the ever progressing timeline of history hopeful these newly created images will be carried forward and remembered. 

    “Reflecting on how many surviving portraits of women we have vs. how many of their stories remain, I am enchanted by the fact that their images now live on in families and serve as an eternal connection between past and present.” -Keight MacLean

    Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place Tuesday, October 4th and Wednesday,  October 5th. 

    Exhibit opens to the general public for purchasing on Thursday, October 6th.

    This Time – With Feeling

    RAN JACOB

    September 8th – September 30th

    Studio22 Fine Art is thrilled to introduce emerging artist and abstract painter, Ran Jacob. His latest body of work has been a labor of love for the artist for the past two years.

    The immensely saturated works that comprise this new exhibit are intended as humorous impressions of the multifaceted nature of our collective lived experiences and the relationships created throughout.

    “Through subtle winks or heavy-handed finger pointing, it is my intention to reflect and cultivate in my paintings the same terrible, anxious beauty that I believe exists in all things. The contrasting duality of existence is precisely what life and, in turn, my paintings are all about.” -Ran Jacob

    Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place Thursday, September 8th and Friday, September 9th. 

    Exhibit opens to the general public for purchasing on Saturday, September 10th.

    Artist Biography

    Ran Jacob is an emerging abstract painter and drawer currently residing in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, NS).

    As a life-long student of visual arts, Jacob most recently received his BA in Fine Arts from NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. 

    This past summer the artist was selected by the Senior Leadership of Nova Scotia Health and members of the NSCAD faculty to work alongside three other artists on a commissioned artwork to be installed in Halifax’s Victoria General Hospital.   

    Utilizing rhythmic, flamboyant maximalism, Jacob’s works are intentionally saturated with concentrated sensory reflections, compressed into quasi-abstracted large-scale records.

    Raised in Kingston, Ontario, Ran is looking forward to exhibiting his latest body of work back in the city of his youth and beloved hometown.

    Introducing Hard-edge Abstract Artist

    SACHA WARUNKIW

    June 7th – June 30th

    As colors collide, Minimalism can be emotional, evoking deep personal feelings while at the same time remaining beautifully simple. Warunkiw’s Hard-edge colorful abstraction works play on geometrical shapes derived from nature and the imagination. The inspiration for his paintings is often times derived from an idea percolating during a dream or meditation session.

    Color and shape merge together on the canvas to express energy as well as peacefulness. The zen like vision evoked by a simple shape on a single colorfield can speak louder than a hundred brushstrokes of many colors, simplifying our visual transcendence through the realm of space and time. On the other side of the artistic coin Warunkiw’s abstract expressionist works play out like the motion of Sufi dervish dancers, sitar riffs or a symphony of impromptu jazz bites. Bouncing, clashing, inviting one to visually feast.

    “Hard-edge keeps me on the edge of something only time will allow me to understand.”
    – Sacha Warunkiw

    Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place Tuesday, June 7th and Wednesday, June 8th.

    Romancing the Poem 
    by Teri Wing

    May 10th – June 3rd

    Decapitated heads, protruding eyeballs, dismembered corpses and boxes of teeth are perhaps not the first images the mind conjures up when recalling children’s bedtime stories. While many are lulled to sleep by the charming tales of Beatrix Potter, it was the evocative writings of Edgar Allan Poe read to her as a child by her father that stirred the mind and completely captured the imagination of artist Teri Wing. These strong visual memories from early childhood triggered by Poe’s poems of mystery and torment served as a catalyst in Wing’s creative journey, stimulated the ongoing cultivation of her craft and influenced the trajectory of her artistic development.

    With this brand new body of work, Teri Wing bring’s the master of macabre’s dark romantic prose to canvas in her second solo show with Studio22. As an artist that has always had a fascination with the inner workings of the human mind, Wing’s latest exhibit, takes the viewer into a world that goes beyond appearances and visually captures the dark side of imagination. The exhibit agitates and excites. It is no wonder Wing so fondly treasures the memories of terror that lurk beneath the deceptively beguiling book covers of Edgar Allan Poe.

    “Strange and unexpected things wake up your mind. The wilder and more extraordinary the image, the more pleasure we gain from it. We are attracted to things that interest our curiosity more than fanciful things, they open up and stir your mind with new images and a way of thinking.” –Teri Wing

    Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place Tuesday, May 10th and Wednesday, May 11th. Exhibit opens to the general public for purchasing on Thursday, May 12th. 

    Opening Reception, with live music, will take place on Thursday, May 12th from 7-9pm. The artist will be in attendance. Masks are required while inside the gallery

    Artist Statement
    Poem by Teri Wing

    When I was a child, and nighttime fell, I’d hurry to bed, I remember it well.
    Get in, cover up, Dad turned out the light, close your eyes now, keep them shut tight.
    He read with a voice that was deep and low, saying the words with smoothness and flow.
    No not the nursery rhymes of the usual kind, something more chilling to stir up your mind.
    All entranced, with eyes open wide and mouth agape, visions and images were taking their shape.
    Mysteries, torment, and frightening things too, the lines in the poems all came into view.
    Unbelievable things of nightmares and dreams, this was a constant in all of his themes.
    Ravens and castles and the mist of a ghost, these were the ones that I loved the most.
    At the days end was a favorite time, getting the book for a wonderful rhyme.
    I have the book still, one you never outgrow, the stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe.

     

    Artist Biography

Prior to being represented by Studio22, Wing sold her art independently from her home studio.  Inspired and excited by dramatic lighting, the artist paints with oils using palette knife and flat brush as well as cold wax as a medium to add layers and textures.

    Wing first joined Studio22 as a represented artist in February of 2019 and had her first solo ‘Counterpart’ in February of that same year. Today she is one of the gallery’s best selling artists. Wing volunteers giving art classes at her local Center for Community Living for people with mental and physical challenges.

    Canada Obscura 
    by Lee Stewart

    April 12th – May 6th

    The only thing predictable about an exhibit by artist Lee Stewart is the nature of its unpredictability. As an indigenous mixed-race artist, Stewart sees and experiences the world differently than the majority. This sense of ‘otherness’ permeates his craft and is reflected in his art. Intense, high contrast colour combinations of black and neon, depict familiar scenes that attract the eye. Disguised within the juxtaposition of loose and detailed brushstrokes lurks an element of surprise and draws the viewer deep into his canvas. 

    As a lover of both historical and pop culture references, inside jokes and puns, Stewart has titled his latest exhibition Canada Obscura. These new landscapes, a series of scenes depicting nature and suburban life, were painted in his very own ‘dark chamber’; at night, during the pandemic, in lockdown. ‘Canada Obscura’ memorializes otherwise fleeting moments and captures beauty in the mundane. Executed with Stewart’s signature ‘expect the unexpected’ twist, this new exhibit is sure to intrigue first time buyers and collectors alike.

    Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place Tuesday, April 12th and Wednesday, April 13th. Exhibit opens to the general public for purchase on Thursday, April 14th. 

    Opening Reception, with live music, will take place on Thursday, April 14th from  7-9pm. The artist will be in attendance. Masks are required while inside the gallery.

    Artist Statement

    “I like the idea of being a visual vampire. My paintings can be alluring, but like vampires, their intentions are not exactly what they present on the surface. There is a constant push and pull.”

    Artist Biography

    Lee Stewart was born and raised in Kashechewan, a small remote reserve on James Bay, Northern Ontario. He spent years in the Rideau Lakes region, studied film and art history at Carleton University in Ottawa and then lived in Vancouver before returning to establish himself in Kingston.

    Stewart’s cultural influences are as vast as his lived experience, without hierarchy or elevated status. As a self-taught artist, Stewart’s experimentation, innate curiosity and openness continue to shape his evolving style.

    United Gratitude 

    by Leah Hicks

    March 15th – April 9th

     

    Studio22 Fine Art is pleased to introduce new abstract paintings by artist, Leah Hicks.

    Hicks’ ethereal abstract canvases trigger a parasympathetic response where breathing slows, spirits lift, and a sense of calm envelops the viewer. Each piece is beautifully and purposely constructed with deliberate consideration placed on eye movement, color balance, and textural contrast. Her pieces have universal appeal. 

    This latest body of work not only celebrates the artist’s self-remodel following a life changing accident, but also speaks to her profound longing for a world where equality is universal, peace begets power and acceptance is society’s unifying force.



    Preview and presale     for this exhibit will take place Tuesday, March 15th and Wednesday, March 16th. 

    Exhibit opens to the general public for purchase on Thursday, March 17th.

    Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, March 16th from 4 – 6pm, artist will be in attendance. No food and drink will be served and masks are required. 

    We invite all who can to please come out to our Opening Reception and show our new, out-of-town artist, Leah Hicks, a big, warm Kingston welcome!

    Artist Statement

    “My artwork is pleasing to the eye and appeals to a wide array of people. I strive to create art that is versatile and timeless. Art is my salvation and constant partner; intense and full of passion.” – Leah Hicks

    Artist Biography

     

    Leah Hicks, born in 1978, is an abstract, acrylic and multimedia artist from Smiths Falls, Ontario. In 2005, a catastrophic car accident turned her passion for art into her salvation. Traumatic brain injuries left her suffering with double vision, an inability to speak clearly and functional limb weakness. She never gave up on her passion for art and learned to paint with her left hand instead of previously dominant right hand. Leah Hicks is represented by galleries in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. Her work has been collected by the Federal Government of Canada as well as held in many private collections.

    Artist Statement

    “There are people in these paintings, but they’re not portraits. They’re about communing with nature, sun warming our shoulders, wind ruffling our hair, grass cool and damp under our bare feet. Children making castles in the sand, offering up their stick drawings to the lake. The lone paddler deftly maneuvering through the shallows and the young woman quietly sipping her morning coffee. Breathing deeply, engaging all our senses. Wandering and exploring and bonding through new adventures. Being still long enough for the cat to jump into our lap, the cows to approach the fence, our boisterous lab to bring us a stick. 

    My palette reflects the brilliant sunshine with cool, beachy blues in water and sky and rosy, saturated pinks and reds in sun-warmed skin and hair. The figures are often small or off to one side so that the landscape expands to fill the space. This gives the paintings visual breathing room so that the viewer can feel that expansiveness. While the kids are completely absorbed in their play, the grown-ups are lost in thought, gazing out to the horizon. Slowing down, restoring and re-energizing.”
