MEET THE ARTISTS WEEKEND, HODGSON’S “ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONSIM” EXHIBIT EXTENDED, COMING SOON: ANDREW OLSCHER’S “ECOSCAPES”

MEET THE ARTISTS WEEKEND

Last weekend Gallery on the Lake was pleased to host our annual meet the artists weekend event. We welcomed over a dozen of our most loved artists, including Silvia Armeni,Dave Beckett, David Grieve,  Norman R. Brown,  and Peter Rotter. The gallery was abuzz with excitement and a great time was had by all.

HODGSON’S “ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM” EXHIBIT EXTENDED

It’s been such a great summer for spending time outdoors, many people have missed Tom Hodgson’s extraordinary exhibit. Because of this, the Gallery on the Lake will be extending the exhibit until October 15th. This exhibit is a rare investment opportunity, as Hodgson’s work has not been featured in a major exhibit since 1995, and highlights his important role in abstract expressionism in Canada as a member of the Painters Eleven. We are pleased to be able to provide this opportunity to allow patrons to view and purchase these outstanding pieces.

COMING SOON: ANDREW OLSCHER’S “ECOSCAPES”

OPENING RECEPTION AND MEET THE ARTIST SEPTEMBER 5TH FROM 1-4PM

“This summer has brought enough rain and sunshine to draw the very best in lush green growth, colour and fragrance from country and city gardens alike .Fortunately,  With broad stokes of the pallet knife, brushes and splashing of rich, vibrant colour, spring and summer gardens will live on in full bloom  at Gallery On The Lake in Buckhorn, when the gallery presents a special collection of paintings by artist, Andrew Neil Olscher. ” (Excerpt from media release)

ART CAMP

Last week thirteen young artists had a blast at our summer art camp with Beverly Sneath. The children, ages 6-13 made some amazing art work that has to be seen to be believed. They learned a variety of painting techniques, experimented using watercolours and acrylics, and practiced their cartooning and rendering skills. We’d like to thank all those who participated in the event, and can’t wait to see you again next year!

TOM HODGSON EXHIBIT OPENING

Last Saturday we opened our exciting new exhibit, “ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONSIM” Featuring the works of the late Tom Hodgson. His family and friends was there to share their stories with guests. We are honoured  to be a part of this exhibit and the Abstract movement in Canada. The exhibit highlights large , high impact mixed media pieces  that are truly representative of his style  and evolution . Rounding out the exhibit are small watercolours. These pieces are great for those who have a love for abstract art, or those looking to make an investment. The exhibit continues to September 4th. Do not miss the opportunity to view and purchase artworks from  this tribute to the Abstract Movement in Canadian History!
