Fresh: The Artists
April 12th, 2012
Fresh, Spring art show at Tay Gallery features four accomplished area artists: Ted Duncan, Denis Larouche, Twyla Webster and Paulette Sauve .
We are pleased to welcome guest artists Ted Duncan and Denis Larouche to the gallery this month.
Ted Duncan, Kanata area artist presents a number of encaustic work of urban landscapes in this show. Duncan paints in various media, encaustic and/ or in combination with oil and alkyd paint. He also paints in watercolours and pastel, recently a series of figure paintings of musicians at their craft. Most of his painting effforts are placed on design and happenstance patterns in the world. His emphasis is to limit the pictorial considerations of his images – emphasizing elements of line shape, colour, and texture of of design and pattern while still working within a representional mode.Ted Duncan is an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and a Fellow of the Ottawa Watercolour Society.
Denis Larouche, OCAD alumnus and Gatineau area artist paints impressionistic waterscapes and landscapes. His fascination with the idea in physics that light, matter and energy originate from a single source has led to a more stylized imagery in his paintings where the treatment of open space becomes the real focus. The subject itself becomes key leading into this space and the interpretation of its content. The treatment becomes a search in itself, obeying laws and a logic that exist only within the painting. Larouche has participated in solo and group exhibitions in the region and is a member of regional art associations . His work is hung in corporate and private collections across Canada.
Paulette Sauve presents abstracted landscapes that emphasize colour, texture and form in her latest landscape series. Paulette Sauve , Vercheres area resident, is an award winning artist with a Masters in Fine Arts degree. Much of her inspiration is found in lakes and marshed of Ontario, Quebec and New England states. She has obtained grants and awards from the Canada Arts Council, Quebec Cultural Affairs Grant Program and 50th Golden Jubilee Medal awarded by Governor General of Canada. Her work is found in corporate, public and private collections in USA , Europe and Canada.
Twyla Webster is a Canadian artist known primarily for her renditions of the countryside of the Rideau/Ottawa Valley. Using brush or palette knife, she creates works of rich colour and pervasive strength in a powerfully expressive style. A professional artist for many years, she was born in Federicton New Brunswick in 1953, raised and educated in Toronto, graduating with an Honours BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts degree ) from York University. Twyla has numerous works housed in corporate as well as private collections across Canada.

Matters of the Heart: The Artists
February 1st, 2012
Matters of the Heart opens at Tay Gallery Kanata February 1 , featuring Julie Himel, Susan Jillette, Marianna Mikhaylyan and Terry Ananny. Four artists with a focus on the human figure with very distinct styles and interpretations .
We introduce Julie Himel to the gallery this month as spotlight artist from Toronto.
Julie Himel is a Toronto painter primarily investigating the human condition through quiet moments of inner reflection. Figures are enveloped in personal spaces, absorbed in meditative activities. While the subjects look inward,the paintings question the thoughts in the mind of the subject, the subtext of the scene, the potential of the near future. When the figures are removed from the view, still life and interior paintings result as portraits just the same. Table settings, a chair in a room, or even a bar of soap and toothbrushes resting in a cup at the sink attempt to capture the personalities and relationships of the people dwelling in those spaces. The source of Julie’s imagery is photography, though photorealism is not the goal. Executed in oil paint on canvas or board, and using a modified or personalized impasto technique, brushstrokes remain visible. A painterly rendering of the depth and character that is but a moment caught on film (or digitally) is what is attained. Each brushstroke carries energy, thought and care. Preserving those marks adds layers of emotion to the images. Julie Himel has a Fine Art Diploma from Langara College, a BFA from York University,and a Graduate Diploma from the Toronto School of Art and her work can be found in private collections internationally, and public collections in Canada and the United States.
Returning Montreal artist Susan Jillette , SCA exhibits a selection of her portraits of women with elaborate backgrounds and strong colour palette and expressing a range of human emotions and personalities portrayed in a light vein.
Gallery artists Marianna Mikhaylyan and Terry Ananny are featured artists this month exhibiting a number of new figure paintings . Marianna Mikhaylyan paints in her fluid loose brush style with romance, intrigue and tenderness addressed . Terry Ananny exhibits a number of new works in her highly recognizeable naive style - joyful and colourful paintings of children at play in the Canadian winter.
New pastels by Sharon Fox Cranston and Guy Cranston have arrived and are displayed in the gallery with other work by gallery artists in addition to the feature show exhibit .
