PETER MITCHELL
Undone
November 6 - 22 . 2014

Please save the date: Opening reception
Thursday, November 6th | 6pm to 8pm 
 
While shaping and building a homestead, raising a family and tuning to life outside the city, Peter Mitchell has kept the studio light on throughout.  His first solo with the gallery,  Undone opens on November 6th.  Mitchell has a line all his own, and subject matter that is born of where he has been and where he is going.  The new works in his upcoming solo exhibition are the result of a dedicated artist with an authentic vision and ceaseless creativity.

Peter Mitchell, along with Sean Yelland, Rachel Berman and Sara Sniderhan are part of Creemore's Festival of the Arts taking place the weekend of October 4th & 5th.  Sniderhan presents, in her first time curating, Inspired: Works By 11 Acclaimed Canadian Artists.
  
I would like to dedicate this exhibition to the late Rachel Berman, who passed in the spring, after agreeing to be a part of this show. Rachel was a true artist spirit whose work will continue to inspire generations of artists and art lovers. -Sara Sniderhan

EY Canadian Print Collection


The move to a new open concept office tower in 2017 has brought about the deaccession of notable prints from the Ernst & Young (EY) collection, one of the largest collections of original prints in Canada.  Ingram Gallery is heading the process and as such will act as hub to viewing, learning about and acquiring original prints from the collection.

Over a 40 year period, with curator Ed Phillips at the helm, EY assembled a superb collection of important works by Canadian art giants.  EY also sponsored the Great Canadian Print Making competition (1995-2005) taking Canadian printmaking to a new level.  From Harold Town's ground breaking Single Autographic Prints (SAPs), through to the etchings of David Blackwood, the screenprints of Christopher Pratt, to unique print works by Barker Fairley and John Hartman -- the works are indicative of technical innovation and mastery of challenging mediums.

There is a a lively energy and excitement to printmaking.  With roots going back to ancient techniques in making an impression, printmaking includes etchings, engravings, lithography, woodcuts, linocuts, block prints, mezzotints, silkscreens and aquatints, to name a few.  Collecting prints was first available through Agnès Lefort Gallery in 1950 in Montreal.
