MISCELLANEA
Miscellanea
by J.T. Winik
This highly anticipated and playful exhibit aptly falls under Studio22’s 2020 vision idiom In the Eye of the Beholder.
Preview and presale for this exhibit will take place from Tuesday, September 15th to Friday, September 18th. Exhibit opens to the general public for purchase on Saturday, September 19th.
On Thursday evening, September 17th at 8pm, Studio22 will be hosting its very first Live Stream Exhibit Opening. J.T Winik, alongside Hersh and Ally Jacob, will be streaming live from the gallery and all customers, subscribers and members of the general public are invited to login to view the exhibit and interact with the artist from the comfort of their own home.
Artist Statement
It all began with feeling blocked. Most artists experience this at some point or another and there is only one way I know of to cure that state: abandon your intentions and do what you want. Deciding to play versus adhering to a specific theme both inspired and released me — it always does. I love not knowing exactly where a painting is going and although I begin with some vague idea, it’s when I stop trying to direct it that the process becomes more interactive and exciting. Letting go of expectations allows ideas to shift, faces to form, compositions to twist and surprises to happen.
With “play” as my praxis, the only element uniting these works is that they are all painted in oil. On canvas or panel, these paintings share no common theme, subject, or size. Several of these works are built upon unresolved paintings of the past where some element has provided a stepping stone to something new. Maritime Girl, for instance, began as a standing figure then morphed into a seated figure against a wall until one morning she broke out and sat herself on a rock by the sea. Little Italian Boy was born as Italy was pummeled by the pandemic and it only took a moment to realize where he came from. Meanwhile An Autumn Day shifted seasons and landscapes before it melded into what it became — an ambiguous tale with a woman, a blimp and a dog.
Overall, Miscellanea is playful but sometimes dark, humorous but sometimes sad, and occasionally mysterious for no good reason at all. As always, it’s the audience who tells the stories.

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

Guitars and Moons
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.

NEW BEGINNINGS
An exhibit of new work by
NORMAN TAKEUCHI
“Some years ago, as a way of coming to terms with my ethnicity, I began integrating into my predominantly abstract paintings images from traditional Japanese woodblock prints to illustrate the concept of duality – of being Japanese and Canadian. This became, and continues to be, the focus of my work. I still make references to the internment camps because it is never far from my mind – a period that has shaped who I am – but my work now also pays tribute to the strength and determination of the Japanese Canadians who have been able to rebuild their lives and once again become productive members of Canadian society. The paintings represent an uneasy search for harmony and balance between the two worlds but ultimately they are a celebration of my Asian heritage. I have learned to embrace the two cultures.” – Norman Takeuchi

UNEARTHED
An exhibit of new work by
Phillida Hargreaves
“Rocks are the exposed bones of the earth. Their size, solidity and longevity appeal to me, and the forces that form and sculpt them intrigue me. This series celebrates rocks in a number of detailed studies. Each frames the rocks as subjects of beauty in their own right, rather than as part of a larger landscape. I am interested in their form, texture and the subtle complexity of colours within them. I often pair the rocks with the plants that colonize them or the water that erodes them. Rocks change over time and it is these elements, plants and water, that bring about the changes. Their visual presence offers movement as a contrast to the immutability of the rocks. Each piece is built up in layers. I start with whole cloth which is dyed, then painted, printed and drawn on with ink. I add pieces of transparent fabric and then I hand embroider the whole to add extra textural dimension. The rocks which have inspired me are local, national and international. They include rocks from Newfoundland, the Yukon, Iceland, the Colorado Plateau, the Canadian Shield, and our local limestone rock cuts and shoreline.” – Phillida Hargreaves

FLESH AND BONE
A Joint Show of New Work by
Margaret Sutherland and Jane Derby
While Margaret Sutherland and Jane Derby have studios beside each other, the art they make couldn’t be more different, both in materials as well as subject matter. It was during the course of a casual conversation over tea last fall that they discovered a technically sound and deeply thought provoking thematic link with respect to their current work. At the time, Sutherland was deeply preoccupied with the exploration of flesh and the study of the human figure, while Derby’s studies involved the examination of the human skeleton. It was out of this very conversation that the title and idea for this new exhibit, Flesh and Bone, was born. Flesh and Bone, a joint show of new work by Margaret Sutherland and Jane Derby, will be on display at Studio22 from October 29th to November 30th.
“Of course, the subject matter flesh and bone necessarily references the concept of “Memento Mori”, the artistic or symbolic reminder of our mortality. A common theme in figure painting and still life, the point of this reminder isn’t to be morbid, but to inspire an urgent sense of the meaningfulness of life.” – Jane Derby

Margaret Sutherland is a Kingston-based artist who received national attention for the resale of her painting Emperor Haute Couture (2005), which depicted former Prime Minister Stephen Harper reclining in the nude, that sold privately to a buyer in B.C. for 4x’s its original sale price just ahead of her very successful exhibit – Roller Derby, Politics and Other Blood Sports – with Studio22 back in October of 2015. Sutherland’s work has, at its heart, a preoccupation with the cultural ideal of the body and society’s distorted perception of the external form. While bone structures are generally very similar, the flesh on top manifests itself in very different ways. Her work critiques the traditional rendering of the figure and exposes the judgement we place on one another and ourselves.
Jane Derby, a native Kingston artist with a loyal and solid local following, uses a variety of techniques to repurpose discarded and everyday materials. Inspiration for her skeletal subject matter came from the winter she spent drawing at the Queen’s Anatomy Museum. Derby explores the notion of the bones and ribcage of the house. She chooses as material, lath, strips of wood left exposed in older houses where lath and plaster are replaced by drywall. The aging process created subtle differences in the colors of the wood, and the artist uses this as the substate on which she gouges and inks skeletal shapes. The work hints of the bones as fossils, bone structures buried deep in permanent material.
Flesh and Bone is a show of two separate, yet complimentary, bodies of work by two unique artists that viewed side by side reminds us of our own mortality and suggests that perhaps beauty is not only skin deep.
A decade after graduating from Queen’s University in Arts and then Education, Margaret Sutherland formalized her professional art pursuit with a Master of Fine Arts (Cum Laude) in 2001 from the Graduate School of Figurative Art of the New York Academy of Art. Her highly sought oil paintings are in numerous private collections across the country.
Since graduating from OCAD with honors in 2007, Jane Derby has worked full time as an artist. Her work has been shown in Kingston, Ottawa and Toronto. Derby has won a number of prizes and awards, including the Environmental Spirit Award from the Recycling Council of Ontario. She is an active member of the Kingston arts community, organizing and jurying shows, participating in environmental action, and being on the board of the Organization of Kingston Women Artists. This is her second exhibit with Studio22.
Flesh and Bone is on exhibit at Studio22 from Tuesday, October 29th until Saturday, November 30th. Previews and pre-sales will take place from October 29th – 30th. Margaret Sutherland and Jane Derby will give a joint artist talk at the gallery that is open to the public on Thursday, November 21st at 5:15pm.

COUNTERPART
We are all performers and we are all performing, all the time. This is the theme that breakout artist Teri Wing tackles boldly and beautifully with her first solo show Counterpart on exhibit at Studio22 Open Gallery from October 29th to November 30th. For the moment, the emerging artist’s work is so accessibly priced that Studio22 has a challenging time keeping her work on the walls and this show is expected to sell well.
Counterpart is a new body of work that was inspired by the many faces or masks we, as human beings, wear each and every day. Whether these masks are worn for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment we wear them because we feel they help us create a “better” version of ourselves that will be more socially accepted, less judged and ultimately validated. How many of us have pretended to be strong even when our troubles have felt so big and our faith so small? Human beings are wonderful actors. Our masks help us get into character and we call on our counterpart as needed to act out the scene as the script requires.
Common themes in the paintings are of a theatrical quality. The masks, mirrors and birds are symbols of protection, transformation, truth and self realization. I use neutral shades, soft edges, and little detail, so that the art speaks quietly and simply, welcoming and allowing you to get inside and discover what each piece means to you. – Teri Wing
Counterpart, which is hautingly melancholic – yet, at the same time, unwaveringly hopeful in nature – quietly confronts the viewer with the question “Why are we so afraid to be authentic?”. The exhibit challenges the audience to examine the habitual masks we have developed for ourselves as well as hints at the ‘what if’ of letting our guard down, acknowledging our limitations, revealing our imperfections and embracing our vulnerabilities.

Teri Wing is an artist living in Gananoque, Ontario. Prior to being represented by Studio22, Wing sold her art independently from her home studio. She volunteers giving art classes at her local Center for Community Living for people with mental and physical challenges. 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 exhibited her paintings at the Tett Centre in 2017 and was awarded first place in the Kingston School of Art Juried Show in the summer of 2018.
Counterpart is on exhibit from Tuesday, October 29th until Saturday, November 30th. Previews and pre-sales will take place from October 29th – 30th. Teri Wing will give an artist talk at the gallery that is open to the public on Thursday, November 21st at 4:30pm.

Mini Exhibit – Bruno Capolongo – CANADIAN SUBLIME
Landscapes from the ‘Canadian Sublime’ Collection
Artist Bruno Capolongo presents a selection of large landscape paintings that are part of a recent body of work celebrating the magnificence of Canada.
For years I have been encouraged by friends and collectors alike to spend more time on landscape paintings which I have painted now and then between projects for galleries in New York City, Toronto, and elsewhere.
The paintings seen here represent my growing attention to landscapes, with nearly all subjects being only minutes away from my west Niagara studio. ‘Canadian Sublime’ is the title I give this evolving body of work, which is finding an appreciative audience in light of growing national pride and international recognition of Canada as a place of great and distinct natural beauty. ‘Canadian Sublime’ is my effort to capture that beauty, in the small and simple, and in the large and majestic.
– Bruno Capolongo
Bruno Capolongo is an established artist of Neapolitan descent whose work is collected by private and corporate collectors in addition to a growing list of public galleries and museums. With an exhibition record of over 140 exhibitions, the artist has also been represented by a number of fine art establishments, including galleries in Toronto, New York City, Montreal, and Washington DC. Capolongo is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the internationally coveted Elizabeth Greenshields prize three times (of which there’ve been few since 1955), and consecutive first place awards for the national Canadian exhibition and competition ‘Evidence of Things Unseen.’

Studio 22’s newest exhibits blend nature & music
https://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2019-09-12/arts/studio-22s-newest-exhibits-blend-nature-and-music/ -
The Concert Series
Movement, form and texture are central to the works of Kingston artist, Evelyn Rapin. Her new solo exhibit, The Concert Series, is a visually powerful body of work created from a sublime auditory experience. Rapin’s latest exhibit was influenced by an enchanting concert featuring the beautiful music of Canadian composer, Marjan Mozetich – where front row seats, impressive musicians, and amazing acoustics made for an inspirational evening.
Just as lauded composers, Nicholas Cook and Aaron Copland, rely on certain devices such as rhythm, tone, color and repetition to structure musical arrangements, Evelyn Rapin’s artistic approach is to depict the sensation of music in two dimensions.
“Over time, artists develop their own creative processwhether they are writers, musicians, visual artists, actors, filmmakers or dancers, and all rely on inspiration to transmit and express a new idea or vision. My music-inspired artwork is ekphrastic in that Mozetich’s music evoked a creative response from me, but the work is also paying homage to his wonderful compositions.” – Evelyn Rapin
The Concert Series is on exhibit from Tuesday, September 10th until Saturday, October 12th. Previews and pre-sales will take place September 10th- September 13th. Evelyn Rapin will give an artist talk (ShopTalk) at the gallery on Thursday, October 10th at 5:00pm. All are welcome to attend but space for the talk is limited so please email rsvp@s22.ca to reserve a space.

The House the Spirit Builds
The House the Spirit Builds is a visual and poetic celebration of a place called Wintergreen, interpreted by two photographers, Diane Laundy and Peter Coffman, whose images inspired a collection of poems by Lorna Crozier.
Wintergreen is an educational retreat centre in the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve in Southeastern Ontario, approximately 50 km from Kingston. Photographers Diane Laundy and Peter Coffman spent many weeks shooting the grounds and the buildings over a period of more than two years. They created a composite photographic ‘portrait’ of the place, evoking the profound resonance of its quiet, still moments. The photographs were given to Lorna Crozier, whose poems respond to them and take us on an inner journey rooted in this deep experience of place.
Something astonishing happens when the poems and photos sit side by side and speak to one another in a language that is timeless, lucid and precise. They reveal the wisdom and peace gained from the simple act of being still and looking closely at what surrounds us. They present our environment- natural and built- as something not to be tamed and dominated, but loved and cherished. – Peter Coffman
The House the Spirit Builds reminds us that joy and inspiration can be found in the smallest of things and that it is in our quest for a sense of belonging that we are united. The poems and photographs seen together are an invitation to expand our sense of wonder and our sense that all things are connected.
The House the Spirit Builds is on exhibit at Studio22 Open Gallery from Tuesday, September 10th until Saturday, October 12th. Previews and pre-sales will take place September 10th- September 13th. The book launch will take place on Friday, September 27th at the gallery as part of Writersfest.
