Oeno Gallery welcomes you to ‘Breathe’ - a curated group show of fine artists whose work invites you to pause, exhale, and experience a moment of stillness.
The restrained brushwork, the subdued palettes and the hand crafted nature of this collection of paintings, sculptures, ceramics and fibre art encourage reflection. Explore this perspective through the works of: Susan Collett, Dan Hughes, Benny Katz, Chung-Im Kim, Claudia McCabe, Paula Murray, Milly Ristvedt, Sasha Rogers, Carol Sutton and Richard Tosczak.
And in our Alcove, we are proud to display the superb work of Pat Service, one of Canada’s finest landscape artists. She has always challenged herself to explore colour, line, texture and composition in new and interesting ways. Her ‘Still Lake Paintings’ illustrate a masterful use of light, colour and minimal form. Service grew up surrounded by the beauty of British Columbia’s ancient forests, lakes and oceans. That rich imagery made an indelible mark on Service resulting in a deep love for nature.
Art’s colours, shapes and textures draw you into a silent world of emotion and thought. Science confirms what the heart already ‘knows’: observing art engages our mind, relieves stress and releases serotonin—the ‘feel good’ hormone. Our response to art remains deeply personal for we all reference our own memories, emotions, and culture. So, take a moment, find sanctuary in the quiet power of art and just breathe.
