Newzones

Sep-Oct Samantha Walrod: Off The Beaten Path considers how humans view and interact with wildlife in the Canadian wilderness from a “close” distance. Bears, elk and wolves are depicted on the edge of the wilderness, adjacent to roads and thoroughfares, visible to humans before disappearing onto paths less accessible to human transportation. Reception: Sept 26. Opening Oct 17 Jack Bishop: In The Pines. In these new paintings segments of the Trans-Canada are like a topiary, where the treelines carve out an ornamental landscape the highway cuts through. The liminal space through the wilderness in a commute. For a fleeting moment the light changes, and the familiar surroundings emote a sense of nostalgia, romanticism or déjà vu.
