Solo Art Exhibit by Mary Ellen Chapman
www.mellen.ca

Contrast has always been an integral part of my work but never so much as on these panels. Each of these water-scapes, tree-scapes or pastures has an area that is heightened and irregular. The shallow areas have numerous translucent layers of intense colour that provide the illusion of implied depth; but the elevated sections provide actual thickened, lumps of wax that are often muted in hue.

There are almost twenty paintings in this collection that explore the rusticated:silky, subdued:vibrant, and grounded:fluid. These images do not dictate extreme opposites but suggest a dwelling between – ascension:stumble. perfection:pitted. numb:content. Meander by the gallery in the Glen and explore these tactile studies.

“Having your work recognized among your peers is definitely special, and our membership in the League for Innovation takes that to another level,” said Art Show Co-Chair Duncan Clair. “Humber students are known throughout Canada for their creativity and this is an opportunity to grow that reputation globally.”

Statement from the Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre include:

“The Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre fosters creativity, inspiration, innovation, diversity and discovery in the arts, and is proud to offer Humber College students the unique visual arts experience of sharing their award-winning artwork with the Halton Hills community and the broader visitor,” said Laura Rees, Executive Director, Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre. “The Williams Mill Gallery celebrates the success of these emerging artists and welcomes the creative imagination of the “City of the Lost Art” exhibit.”
