Reception Thursday October 2, 6-8pm
 

Exquisitely rendered oils by Salt Spring Island artist Naomi Grindlay transform the meaning of still life. Her attention to detail captivates the magic of the moment. Awareness of light and beauty of form illuminate her breathtaking paintings juxtaposing floral elements from her garden with a timeless sense of style.

Taralee Guild at Eclectic Gallery

These paintings are based on photographs of Airstream, Bowlus and Spartan polished aluminum trailers. Derived from aeronautical design, these mid-20th century companies built streamlined riveted aluminum shells evoking the golden age of flight for the new North American leisure travel industry. Taralee Guild employs painting techniques to create an object-ground relationship similar to animal mimicry, where the trailer hides in its surroundings by mirroring it. Given the degree of distortion, the metallic surface becomes an arena of forms that slip away from recognition. It is a complicated pictorial space where abstraction exists within realism. Taralee Guild received a Bachelor of Fine Art from Emily Carr University in 2010 after graduating with a Diploma in Art from the Victoria College of Art, Victoria BC, in 2005. Currently she is a full-time painter living and working in Vancouver, BC.

As pilgrims of a kind, calligrapher Georgia Angelopoulos and artist Miles Lowry draw from the visual and literary traditions of their respective heritage. Their individual travels have allowed them to experience first-hand the important artifacts of historic poets, artists and scribes. This exhibition reunites their collaboration, first explored in 2011. By pulling words into paintings and paintings into script the two artists work on the same ground deciphering a mysterious balance of meaning and gesture. Together, their ‘marks of devotion’ connect to the roots and rituals of language, crafted using fine linen, gold, cast fibre, and mineral pigments.
