Labyrinths + Monuments: Helena Hadala + Paddy Lamb

Bugera Lamb Fine Art, Edmonton, AB - Apr 3 – 20

Paddy Lamb and Helena Hadala, two established artists with distinguished careers, unite in Labyrinths + Monuments. The artists each use differing means to navigate the creative process, transforming shapes, lines and boundaries into enigmatic and introspective landscapes. Lamb reworks memories and observations, distilling form into the symbolic and monumental, while Hadala layers semi-transparent oil paint, manipulating imagery to uncover the unknown. The paintings reflect a personal quest for a poetic and harmonious sense of place, inviting viewers to embark on their own meditative journey.
