Terry Graff: Magpie in a Multiverse

July 4 – August 30
Opening, Friday, July 4, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Terry Graff uses found objects to create works of assemblage art free of expense. Magpie in a Multiverse challenges notions of throw-away culture, turning scavenged recycled objects into reflections of nature and wildlife. Echoed by eras of material scarcity, Graff’s work reinforces the idea that objects can always be repurposed and reused, challenging the
obsolescence of everyday items.

Lesley Bartlett: Living Large

July 4 – August 2
Opening, Friday, July 4, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Lesly Bartlett’s Living Large combats conventional standards of beauty in modern media and art by celebrating the beauty of large bodies. Representing characteristics of large bodies that are commonly approached with negative sensitivity, Bartlett’s work dismantles these fears, reinforcing the reality of beauty in average body types. As a result, Living Large reconnects the romanticism of figure painting with real-life representations of people.

Kyla Chung: The Art of Balance

August 8 – August 30
Opening Friday, August 8, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Through abstract painting, Kyla Chung explores the complexity of the unseen force we know as Karma from the Buddhist tradition and represents the return of our actions using circular forms and figure depictions. The Art of Balance represents the emotions felt from both positive and negative karma and invites viewers to reflect on the implications of their everyday decisions.

David Zsako: Narratives in Bloom

September 5 – October 25
Opening Friday, September 5, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

David Zsako’s Narratives in Bloom uses ethically sourced flora and fauna remains as material for large-scale photographic collages and sculpture. Inspired by the palette of the natural world, and its ecological and cultural significance, Narratives in Bloom portrays the subtle beauties of preserved natural life, bridging the gap between nature and civilization.

Brian Francis: Indigenous Blue

September 5 – October 4
Opening Friday, September 5, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Indigenous Blue by Brian Francis shines light on the natural and spiritual significance of the colour blue within Indigenous cultures. Through a diverse collection of works, Francis celebrates how blue connects the life-giving traits of the sky and water, with its ceremonial uses of prayer and meditation. Indigenous Blue invites viewers to find peace within this deeply rooted significance, and to experience first-hand the meditative power of the colour blue.

Lucas Morneau: Ballad of the Queer Mummer

October 10 – November 9
Opening Friday, October 10, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Lucas Morneau’s Ballad of the Queer Mummer critiques homophobia in Canadian and Newfoundland culture by addressing similarities between drag art, and the Newfoundland Christmas tradition of Mummering, the act of going door to door in costume and entertaining neighbours. By way of Morneau’s alter-ego, The Queer Mummer, photographic diptychs and crocheted costumes are used to celebrate how mummering is a queer performance act, blurring the gender binary.
