The Blyth Festival Art Gallery, a very popular part of the Blyth
Centre for the Arts, has announced its summer season of exhibitions.
Following the annual Student Show and Community Shows, the Gallery
highlights the works of exceptional artists from around the province. In 2010, the season opens with Road to Olympus, by Edward Schleimer.
This exhibition of powerful wood cut prints and wood sculptures is an
allegorical life’s journey that the artist describes as the “climax of
40 years of effort”. The images of landscapes and buildings near his
Easthope Township home represent a search for artistic and spiritual
enlightenment. He even calls his studio the “Chapel of the Glass
Stoneman”, a references to the window panels that are stacked in a
manner similar to that of Inuit inukshuks. The show opens Friday, June
25, at 6:00 pm and continues to July 1. In contrast to Schleimer’s stark black and white images, Natalie
Hussey’s Carnival presents the viewer with a circus of brilliant
fantasies. The Goderich artist’s unique portrayals of carnival-like
environments are rich in texture and brilliant colours. The paintings
are filled with the vibrant imagination of childhood and the simple
innocence we may long for as adults. Opening Friday, July 16, at 6:00
pm, it runs until August 11, 2010. Finally, the gallery presents a unique artistic approach to a modern
technological advancement. Coordinates is an exploration of geo-
caching with large scale black and white photographs by Elizabeth Van
den Broeck, also of Goderich. Geo-caching is a “sport” in which the
location of a hidden treasure is revealed by GPS technology of. Here
the “treasure” is the location itself, documented by beautiful
photographs of the Huron County landscapes. The show runs from August
13 to mid September. Mounted by a small, enthusiastic committee of art-lovers, the shows
are presented next to the Blyth Festival Box Office in the Bainton
Gallery. The group that believes that the showing of a variety of fine
art partnered with live theatre is an important contribution to the
quality of life in the community. The Blyth Festival Art Gallery
invites members of the public to be a part of their ongoing quest to
provide high quality, stimulating artistic experiences for gallery
patrons and for the community at large. Interested people can phone Robert Tetu at 519-345-2184 for details,
