Anna Yuschuk returns to the gallery walls with an all new body of work.  In studio since the success of her last solo in 2013, Yuschuk has created eleven thrillingly beautiful canvases.  With news of this exceptional exhibition, the Canadian Art Gallery Hop stop later this month and our pop-up show in Creemore in early October, we have here all the art news and details you will need for an eventful month of art.

One
September 17 - October 3 . 2015

Opening celebration: Saturday, September 19 | 2pm - 4pm


 
ONE refers to everything. -Yuschuk, 2015

Anna Yuschuk's new body of work speaks to the inseparable wholeness of existence and unity of all elements.  Through dual subject matter -- water and trees, Yuschuk explores the balance of the natural world, our place in it and its reflection in our inner selves.  

Aware and commanding of her role as a contemporary painter, Yuschuk puts all that she is into her paintings.  Her surfaces glow from an inner light, her subject matter engages the mind and her philosophy unifies.

In this show I have explored water as surface and a medium that connects everything and everyone together. I am interested in the always changing but existentially same quality of water - its mirroring effects and its responsiveness to other elements. Reflecting everything above the surface and hiding all that is beneath, it separates the visible and the invisible with the thin line of the horizon.

Through mirrored images of trees rooted into the ground and human figures reflected across  the water's surface, Yuschuk nods not only at the oneness of it all, but also at growth, maturity, self awareness and the cycle of life.

It is also about a beauty and balance inherent in all living things of which we are a part.

Anna Yuschuk was born in Lviv, Ukraine and graduated from Lviv State Academy of Fine Arts in 1989.  She has been exhibiting professionally in Canada for over 20 years.  Her works are in public, corporate and private collections throughout North America and Europe.

Yuschuk is recognized by her peers through artists grants from the Ontario Arts Council and gives back as both a juror and as an instructor. 

Yuschuk lives with her husband and daughter in Mississauga, Ontario where she creates in her sunlit studio.

The new works range from $5400 - $12,500.  Please contact the gallery for all purchase and press queries.  Yuschuk's artist statement, CV and exhibition catalogue are available as PDFs.  Please click here to view additional canvases from the collection.

As part of the upcoming 2015 Creemore Festival of the Arts, Ingram Gallery is hosting a pop-up exhibition at Station on the Green in Creemore, Ontario (10 Caroline St. E.).  The View From Here provides new ways of looking at contemporary urban landscape painting.   The exhibition features works by several of our acclaimed gallery artists.  Sara Sniderhan is also part of the festival with an exhibition of the Creemore Portrait Project in The Creemore Log Cabin.  The newly released book, The Village and I: 10 Life Stories features Creemore-area elders' tales retold in print and paired with original portraits.  Please click here for further information.

 
Save the date! Celebrate the fourth annual festive arts weekend in Creemore, a beautifully-preserved village nestled in a valley about 90 minutes north of Toronto.

Opening reception Thursday, October 15 | 6pm - 8pm


Travelling through the hills of Mulmur, Ontario en route to our studio visit with Sara Sniderhan we knew that great art and more awaited us at the family's artful homestead.  The new works forming the latest release from Sniderhan's studio are on deck this October at the gallery.  A Room of Her Own opens on Thursday, October 15th with a reception and meet & greet with the artist the same day between 6pm and 8pm.  Highlighting the resolve and inherent strength of the people in her life -- the art students she guides, the guides that lead her, the women that hearten -- the collection of oil paintings and works on paper make for a emboldening journey across the human landscape.



I wanted the women in these works to be breathing in their environments- to be wholly there in every sense
- Sara Sniderhan, 2015




Our recent studio visit with  Sean Yelland was edifying and enriching.  We eyed with excitement the new works underway for the gallery and we also looked together at the inspiration for the new works to come.  The afternoon of animated art filled conversation made it easy to see why the work of Sean Yelland, one of Toronto's all time favourite artists, is universally well received and so widely collected.



Outstanding figurative bronze sculptures have just arrived in at the gallery by Joe Rosenthal (R.C.A.).  We regularly find ourselves discussing his technical genius and unsurpassed understanding of the human form at the gallery.  

The human figure is for me the only vehicle for expressing the human dilemma in dealing with those problems because it is the central focus of universal attention, the hieroglyph of a complicated story.
  - Joe Rosenthal (R.C.A.) | excerpt from My Credo


Each day at the gallery sees visitors enjoying the Collectors' Den and the calibre and cross section of remarkable historical Canadian works available.  You can preview new historical works by clicking here.  You can also view the works available from the six releases to date of Ernst & Young Canadian Print Collection through this link.  


Please join Anna Yuschuk in celebration of the opening of her seventh solo with the gallery on Saturday, September 19th between 2pm and 4pm.  Yuschuk will also be at the gallery the afternoon of Saturday, September 26th for the Canadian Art Gallery Hop Yorkville tour.

See you at the gallery soon!


All the best,
