Many local scenes painted by three en plein air artists will be exhibited at Eclectic Gallery in June.
Each artist, well established in their own right, combine their talents to present works that are both descriptive and often impressionistic.
They evoke a strong response to our rich environment, of places familiar to each of us, yet seen in new ways. The point of view is quickly established and the artist paints on location paying attention to detail, form, movement, light and emotions they experience in the landscape. Peter Dowgailenko, very skilled in oil painting, renders the subtle gradation of tonal quality, while Deborah Czernecky has a looser interpretation of the subject through her brushwork. Desiree Bond captures the atmospheric wispiness of clouds and reflected light off the water. The challenge for these artists is to capture the mood as well as the quality of light present in a scene.
We're here to help artists and arts organizations reach their audiences and each other.
Non-profit run and created by the community, ArtsVictoria.ca integrates current event listings and multimedia arts portfolios, and creates an explorable, living archive of the arts in Victoria BC.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
