  • LOST PORTRAITS – New Works by Keight MacLean

    LOST PORTRAITS – New Works by Keight MacLean

    Keight MacLean would be the first to admit that there is something perplexing and paradoxical about great art. The challenge as an artist—especially one capable of approaching the latter—is to develop an aesthetic that both celebrates beauty and showcases their expertise, yet still stakes a claim on the radical inventiveness of artistic creation. That is, every artist must find her own unique voice.

    For MacLean, finding her voice has coincided with giving voice to forgotten and historically marginalized women. LOST PORTRAITS, her latest body of work, features MacLean’s traditionally inspired portraits, presented with a contemporary twist, such as fluorescent spray paint, re-harvested artists’ mediums and destructive techniques. Driven to explore new materials and apply experimental methods, MacLean is a natural student and calculating risk-taker. Working on surfaces of various sizes affords MacLean the freedom to explore new territory and makes her work accessible to a range of investors.

    MacLean’s dedication to her practice is impressive for an emerging artist. She credits her experience under the tutelage of Karen Peperkorn of Kingston’s Creative Arts FOCUS Program with helping to set her on her artistic path. A recent OCAD University graduate and an alumna of the school’s revered Florence Program, located in Florence, Italy, MacLean takes a holistic approach to her practice. She continually seeks out opportunities to establish connections with fellow artists, to broaden her audience, and to cultivate new collectors. Now based in Toronto, she has participated in various art fairs, such as Toronto Outdoor and the Artist’s Project, garnering an extensive following. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally and her work is in collections throughout Canada, the USA, Italy and the UK.

    Studio 22 is thrilled to welcome Keight MacLean home and to present LOST PORTRAITS, her first major solo exhibition in Kingston.

    LOST PORTRAITS will be on display at Studio 22, located at 320 King Street East, Kingston from September 12-October 28, 2017.

  • New Works by J.T. Winik

    New Works by J.T. Winik

    “As a visual artist, I often explore themes of isolation, introspection and the fusion of contrary states of being. Whether my work is figurative, abstract or in the realm of landscape, I’m intrigued with the pairing of dichotomies, these which may appear in the expression of a face or in the lines of an abstract. Merging beauty and awkwardness, freedom and control, fragility and strength, etc., I seek to capture the fine balance that binds opposites – because that’s the world I observe, the world I feel, and the world that most moves me: a world that always knows some sense of discomfort in its beauty.”

    JT’s work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Canada, The Netherlands and Mexico and she is currently represented in galleries in Toronto, Montreal, and Amsterdam. Her paintings have been featured in national magazines, books and book covers in Canada, Holland, Turkey and England. She paints full time from her studio in Kingston and has spent extensive periods working at studios in Spain, Holland and Mexico. Her work has been collected throughout Canada, the USA and Europe.

    RETORNO

    Montreal-based Cuban artist Osvaldo González Herrera

    A stunning body of work representing an extraordinarily unique vision, RETORNO takes the viewer on a journey into the surreal landscape of dreams.

    Herrera’s work defies conventional definitions, liberating the viewer from the constructs of previously conceived notions of the human form.  Incorporating a splatter-like style reminiscent of Jackson Pollock and evoking the sensibility and playfulness of Ralph Stedman, Herrera recalls abstract expressionism as an anchor for an entirely original direction.  Much of Herrera’s works have a narrative quality, featuring enigmatic themes and lurid figures in intriguing situations.

    In Herrera’s own words, “I propose possible interpretations in order to provoke a dialogue with the viewer.”  In so doing, the discourse between subject and object is set in motion, whereby the exchange of ideas creates a flow that leads the viewer back to the initial state of wonder.  There are no easy answers here, but a return to yet more questions.

    Working in a variety of forms, from painting and graphic arts to humorist drawing, Osvaldo González Herrera studied art in his native Cuba.  In 2013, Herrera relocated to Montreal, where he continues to work as a painter and graphic artist. His work has been shown in several solo and collective exhibitions, both in Cuba and internationally. He has published his humorist works in several local newspapers.

    RETORNO; Paintings by Osvaldo González Herrera will be on display at Studio 22, located at 320 King Street East, Kingston from May 30 –July 1.

  • As I See It – new acrylic paintings by Patti Leishman

    As I See It – new acrylic paintings by Patti Leishman

    Patti Leishman (formerly Emmerson) embraces the unexpected and celebrates the rhythms and patterns of life.  Whether out on the trails or strolling the city with her newlywed husband and beloved dog,
    Leishman draws inspiration for her art from her observations of the world around her.

    Since her return to her hometown roots in Kingston and her artistic debut in 2013, Leishman has produced an astonishing body of work and amassed an enthusiastic following.  Her paintings speak to the beauty and abstract rhythms of life—in them she captures the artistry of the everyday, as she sees it.

    To produce these images, Leishman likes to say she “throws caution to the wind.”  Through her riotous painting techniques—rollers, knives, squeegees, and a fair dose of whimsy, surprising results unfold.  By following the paint where it leads, Leishman’s abstract canvasses erupt with colour and texture, expressing her unique interpretation of beauty and her zest for life.

  • HORIZONS – New Works by Debra Krakow

    HORIZONS – New Works by Debra Krakow

    horiZons

    Wolfe Island architect creates large abstract landscapes that turn interior walls into horizons.  

    Studio 22 is very pleased to announce the launch of our 2016 solo season with a new body of large works from local artist Debra Krakow opening Tuesday, April 12, 2016.

    All it takes is the subtlest hint of a horizon line for our minds to see landscape in an abstract painting. We’re drawn to wide-open spaces and expansive views, and landscape paintings connect us to these places. The concept of abstract landscape allows me incredible artistic freedom and yet grounds the work in visual experience.  – Debra Krakow

    Horizons is Krakow’s third show with Studio22.  Evolving Surfaces (Spring 2014), acrylic and mixed media, explored abstracts from a textural perspective and Crows (Summer 2015), acrylics on paper, was created watching crows from a mountaintop in the south of India.

    Debra Krakow is a Canadian artist and architect. Her luminous and evocative abstract paintings express her deeply felt connection to the natural world.

    Debra was born a free spirit in 1965 and took the women’s movement and the do-your-own-thing motto to heart. Torn between her two loves – art and physics — she decided to study architecture. She graduated from McGill University where she had the privilege of studying life drawing under educator and artist Gentile Tondino. Since then she has developed her artistic practice through courses in painting, printmaking, sculpture, fibre arts and ceramics. Recent workshops with artist Lila Lewis Irving have had a strong influence. She works out of her Wolfe Island studio, overlooking acres of fields and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

    Debra has exhibited in her native city of Montreal as well as in Ottawa, Kingston, Halifax and New York State. Her works are fondly displayed in living rooms and offices throughout North America. www.debrakrakow.com

    Horizons is on exhibit at Studio 22 from Tuesday, April 12 until Sunday May 15, 2016.

    Gallery Hours:  Tuesday to Sunday – 11 to 5 pm & Thursday and Friday evenings to 8pm and 10pm
