Current Sea, a solo exhibition and live painting by Amelia Alcock-White

This new collection highlights the currency of water’s intrinsic value, presenting the concept of water as more than a mere material asset, Alcock-White renders perspective on decisions that trade pristine nature for economic gain.

With this solo exhibition Amelia Alcock-White continues her campaign “Painting for Change”. At the reception on October 7th, Amelia will be painting live. The resulting painting will be sold by silent auction with all proceeds donated to Our Living Waters, a Canadian, non-profit network for groups who aid freshwater health in Canada.

Simultaneously abstract and hyperreal, the series features intricate compositions of the sea and freshwater lakes, vibrating with depth and motion. Dramatic colours, stylized ellipses, reflected shapes, abstract patterns on glittering surfaces recreate the physics of water’s elegant flow. These images move beyond water’s material worth, a transcendence that depicts water as a vital ecological entity and a substance of sheer beauty.

The opening reception features:

- Live-painting
- Silent auction
- Book release
- Refreshments
