Events
Molly McCracken, Abraham Nelson and Katherine Verhoeven showcase their craftsmanship with "Automated Regrowth". The artist attended opening reception is on Thursday, March 4 at 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Three Ontario College of Art and Design emerging illustrators debut their new exhibition and, using a variety of media, examine the dichotomy between the natural and the fabricated.
Automated Regrowth is the exploration made by the three artists into the relationship between the human world and the natural world. In their works they look at the good, the bad and the beautiful in structures, cities, manmade materials, and look for an optimistic alliance between our environment and our constructed lifestyles. With themes of fantasy and reality, the trio invites you to explore their worlds, and to contemplate a life outside of concrete expectations.
Toronto visual artist Molly McCracken graduated from OCAD with a Bachelor of Design and now works in both fine arts and illustration. Molly uses a large mix of media, combining photography, ink, acrylic and personally crafted Japanese papers in a digital collage (which results in unique texturing).
Abraham Nelson works toward a character driven story within each of his pieces. Falsely innocent and consistently chaotic, the creatures, persons and living dead things come to life in the imagery he creates. He is a Toronto based graduate of OCAD and a participant in the recent ‘The Villain Show' event and the upcoming ‘You Know What Love Is' group show at Sleeping Giant Gallery.
Fourth year OCAD student Katherine Verhoeven is soon to be featured in the forthcoming issue of Creative Quarterly magazine (a New York-based journal of art and design). Painting in a variety of mediums, Verhoeven strives to marry mystery and beauty and her depictions of people and objects stream with a haunting melancholy. Her previous shows include the MyOCAD retrospective, the Creative Arts show and WALLSPACE.
Chelsea's Agora Gallery announced they will unveil a three-part exhibition that is scheduled to run from October 27, 2009 through November 17, 2009.
Altered States of Reality provides a glimpse of the world as captured through the lens of a camera, technology, and through the artists own inner vision. The gifted artist's participating in Altered States of Reality offer us a perception of the world, as seen, through a complex, enigmatic fusion of emotions and technical mastery. The old boundaries have come tumbling down and the new reality has been altered and is forever changing. This exciting exhibition allows us to challenge our ideas, parables and perceptions that constitute our own reality. Elements of Abstraction presents audiences with a rich kaleidoscope of color, form, and texture that in conjunction breathes life into abstract artworks. Whether employing shimmering brushstrokes or bold fields of color, nonrepresentational art, with its lack of familiar forms, allows the work speak to us on an especially elemental level. Through their deeply personal forms of expression, these artists offer a stunning glimpse into contemporary abstract painting. Portals of Perception bridges the wide expanse of artistic possibilities, gathering together impressionist, realist, and abstract paintings. What we find, surprisingly, is not the differences but the similarities as these talented artists vocalize the inspirations of places, people, and feelings. While the particular visual language may differ, the spirit behind the works has many overlapping areas, because to be human is to realize ourselves within our mental and physical environs.

Chelsea's Agora Gallery is pleased to present Beyond Borders: fine art from Canada and a four part collective exhibition that is scheduled to run from October 2, 2009 through October 23, 2009.
Beyond Borders is an exhibition of innovative and stunning Canadian Art. Works span the range of artistic expression, each artist imparting with their unique style a little piece of the Canadian spirit. Playful, humorous, saturated with color, and presented in unique fashion, this is an exhibition to delight the senses.
The unique styles and working methods of the artists showcased in Four Degrees of Abstraction are a consequence of seeking to express the ineffable in new, personal ways. Rapturous beauty combines with intriguing symbolism to explore the inner and outer worlds; each artwork becomes a note in a collective effort to unlock the mysteries of being. Sensorial Realities is a collection of whimsical works of contemporary art exploring both the spiritual and earthly themes. These visionary artists take us on a merry expedition though mystic jungles and intergalactic realms, while delving into the yearly cycles of birth and rebirth. Other works focus on the timeless, transformative power of the figure. Together these creative minds provide us with an extraordinary art experience. Soothing naturalist vistas await audiences of The Portal of Tranquility. Nature has always retained the power to enhance our understanding of ourselves and these artists recognize the potent visual possibilities of the natural domain. Here we find each painter, in varying degrees of realism, striking out on their own path and taking delight in the rhythms and energies of the creation itself. The Saturated Palette is a collection of artists conceiving novel forms of expressive abstract painting. Highly energetic and personal, these artists forge new pathways of visual articulation, while exploring music, philosophy and performing arts. The selection of art works will delight audiences who embark upon an exploration of imagery rich with symbolism and a vigorous pulse. This is contemporary painting at it's finest: colorful, brave, and breathtaking.
