Barbara Caruso: The Alphabet Project: Part
1
October 3 - November 3, 2002
This is a new open-ended series of drawings based on Van
Doesburg's alphabet. Caruso writes: "In 1981, I made Van
Doesburg's Alphabet, a series of 26 drawings. Each drawing
is a letter of the alphabet integrated with the square shape
and the square page. In 2000, I turned again to this
orthogonal alphabet and began a new open-ended series of
drawings to explore and exhaust the potential I see in its
square shapes and the rigour of its relationships."
Opening Reception: Tuesday, October 8, 4-7 pm
Tim
Noonan: The Red Tree Series
November 6 to December 8, 2002
New acrylic paintings and watercolours, inspired by camping
and sketching trips around Georgian Bay and the Niagara
Escarpment. The work grew out of sketches made on location
and computer enhancements of the sketches. "I let the act of
painting take me into an expressionistic process where the
surfaces become textured and scored, and the colours become
intense. My favourite colour tends to be red. I find brown
and grey boring. The forest is rhythmical and alive with
energy hidden and unseen"
