Louis de NIVERVILLE
The Gang's All Here
13 - 30 November . 2010
Opening celebration with Louis de Niverville
Saturday, 13 November 2-5pm
When I create an image, it's an event. I'm trying to instill a sense of surprise and irony and play. Without it, I find life boring and dimensionless. Life has layers, so many possibilities ~ Louis de Niverville
Louis de Niverville heats up the walls this November with The Gang's All Here. Painted collage, wit and whimsy collide in theatrical settings -- life's a stage! The dream-like quality beckons the active viewer to be drawn in to open up the narrative. Whether personal or universal in meaning, de Niverville's family of characters, symbols and motifs are re-visited, grouped anew and playfully presented for the viewer to interpret.
The Matisse of his generation, de Niverville manifests a vital, visually opulent art of reverie...
~ Betty Ann Jordan, Louis de Niverville:
The Art of Reverie (2007)

Wallace EDWARDS
The Cat's Pajamas
2 - 18 December . 2010
Reception & Signing with Wallace Edwards: Saturday, 4 December 2-4pm
Kids Can Press and Ingram Gallery present Wallace Edwards: The Cat's Pajamas Book Launch, Signing and Exhibition of original works.
... Edwards won the Governor General's Award for children's illustration for his book 'Alphabeasts'. He is clearly passionate about animals - the ones around him, but also the ones he draws. His eyes are calibrated to pick up the faintest lines, the slightest grooves on the skin's surface: bumps, scales, the textured edge of a feather. His right hand, trained at the Ontario College of Art, expertly maps the mess of stubble on a pig's snout, the chaotic jungle of a lion's mane. One look at his illustrations and you get a strong sense of what he sees if he stares at those ducks long enough. ~ Josh Knelman, Call of the Wild, Quill & Quire

On the floor of the fair we were all so aware of the importance of personal relationships between artists. Sara Sniderhan's portrait of Rachel Berman hanging beside Berman's latest work illustrated the beauty of shared relations and cross influence as meaningful conversations unfolded in front of the two masterpieces.
Sniderhan recently blogged about her connection with Rachel Berman: It is enlightening being a friend of hers -- my art and my nerves are better for it.
We are thankful for the Canadian art community and the vibrant talent that we represent. Visits to the gallery often lead to meaningful connections and unexpected discoveries!
We look forward to welcoming you at Louis de Niverville's opening reception between 2 - 5pm Saturday, November 13th.
With happy wishes,
Tarah
