Vadim Vaskovsky takes inspiration from various locales and themes, including his adopted home in Prince Edward County. Working in a broad range of mediums and subjects, as an artist, illustrator and graphic designer, his gifted use of colour captures the uniqueness of light on the landscape and ignites the imagination in reminiscence.
Born in 1973, he spent his childhood in Central Asia, Russia, and Ukraine before moving to Canada in 2002.
Since graduating from the Grekov Art College (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

“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 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.

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.

New work by a selection of our regular exhibiting artists.

(All artwork priced under $500)
The act of giving is engrained in many cultures – ritualized for a myriad of purposes – as rite, as reward, as gratitude. A gift is many things. It is not always of a physical nature, and a physical offering is not always the real gift. A pair of track shoes to the aspiring runner is a gift of opportunity. A book to a child is a gift of an expanded mind.
It is natural that we like to share the things we value. In a world of ever expanding stuff, it is more important than ever that we find value in the things we choose to share. We at Studio22 hold dear the idea that art is a gift. It elevates our state of mind and gives texture and colour to our imaginations. In the words of Ezra Pound,
Beauty in art reminds one what is worth while, I am not now speaking of shams. I mean beauty, not slither, not sentimentalizing about beauty, not telling people that beauty is the proper and respectable thing. I mean beauty. You don’t argue about an April wind, you feel bucked up when you meet it. You feel bucked up when you come across a swift moving thought in Plato or on a fine line in a statue.
In acknowledgement of the gift-giving season, Studio22 is proud to present FUEL FOR HIBERNATION– an exhibit of art, all under $500, that ignites our thoughts to help us while away the dark hours of winter. We invite you to share your love of art with those you love. Consider gifting a love of art. We all deserve to feel bucked up.
***As well as this exhibit of art under $500, the gallery offers customized gift certificates – purchasable directly from our online store.


We are in the final few days of our current exhibit period. Our featured exhibits, A Perfect Day – New Oils by Susan Oomen, Paintings by Robert Blenderman and Rebecca Cowan’s Julie Brown Project, have been accompanied by some terrific new work by Teresa Mrozicka, Debra Krakow, and introducing Isaac Gillis.

The selected pictures are paintings, drawings and prints. The main medium is acrylic and ink. My recent interest in stained glass and mosaic is seen in some pictures painted from sketches for glass work. Also, there are a few pastels and linocut prints.
