Ingram Art News! ~ August 2012: Summer Series V

Greetings!

August is rolling along and we are enjoying the pace as we dive into the preparations for the launch of our upcoming exhibition season. In studio and collections each week securing new works for the gallery -- we note that we are continually surrounded by great art. The same is true with a visit to the gallery to catch the final weeks of our 5th

annual Summer Series. New works by Peter Mitchell, Yann Leroux and Scott Owles are on continual rotation to the walls, paired with signature works by other gallery artists. Summer Series V runs until August 24th.

Special greetings to the new friends and art lovers we have met at the gallery in recent weeks. We have noticed many collectors visiting from abroad and are happy that the neighbourhood of Yorkville has so much to offer. Ingram Art News! is a wonderful way to stay in touch with your gallery. We greatly appreciate the feedback you share and the requests we receive each month. As in the past, please let us know about a specific feature, such as an artist profile, that you would like to see in future issues.

2012 Exhibition Schedule.

I paint what I dream, I draw what I know and I collage who I am.
- Florence Vale (1909-2003)

In addition to the wealth of art news above, recent weeks have also seen new works to the walls by Harold Town, Jack Beder & Florence Vale. A new essay on Vale is in the works and will be available shortly as a PDF by email. Just this week we have seen the arrival of figurative bronze sculptures by Montréal-realist Oscar Ross and we continue to be on the lookout for fine folk art by Ontario 'folk'.

Art has no middle ground. Either it works or it doesn't. Bad art is not the enemy, mediocre art is the enemy.

- Harold Town (1924-1990), 1987
