The drawings\, with their ghostly feel and their softness of line\, are positioned strategically on the large sheets of drawing paper.  \n In Duntara’s better days\, it was an active fishing outport; now it consists of only twenty-four people\, down from forty-six in 2011. With the decline of the cod stocks\, few people are fishing. Abandoned\, windswept fishers’ sheds and century old houses  lay scattered around the bay. Most of them may be gone in a year or two. \nThese graphite pencil\, ink\, and gouache drawings were made during the course of a two-week residency at 2 Rooms Artist Residency. While the drawings may\, at first glance\, seem to be simply sophisticated doodles\, upon further observation a structure emerges that combines history and memory into a deft and intricate mosaic of lines. \nWeaving together the past\, the present and the future\, these sites belong to a soon-to-be-forgotten history as well as to a framework of places that are yet to become. \nColette Laliberté URL:https://mccainartgallery.com/exhibitions/colette-laliberte/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Past Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mccainartgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Colette-letter-165x213-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180203 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180311 DTSTAMP:20260417T144651 CREATED:20180215T045136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210907T003946Z UID:2399-1517616000-1520726399@mccainartgallery.com SUMMARY:New Brunswick Art Bank Aboriginal Acquisitions Exhibition Acquisitions Autochtones 2017 Banque d’oeuvres d’art du Nouveau-Brunswick DESCRIPTION:Tara Audibert\, Importance of Dreaming Still: Log Pan\, 2017\,\nL’importance de rever\, 2017\, Photographie panoramique \nTara Audibert\, Edward Bear\, Angela Beek\, Kim and G Wayne Brooks\, Francine Francis\, Tim Hogan\, Liz Kain\nBelinda Levi\, Mary Mersereau\, Cindy Narvey\, James Narvey\, Austin Paul\, Sarah Sacobie\, Vienna Sanipass\nSgoagani Wecenisqon\, Pauline Young URL:https://mccainartgallery.com/exhibitions/new-brunswick-art-bank-aboriginal-acquisitions-exhibition-acquisitions-autochtones-2017-banque-doeuvres-dart-du-nouveau-brunswick/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Past Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mccainartgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2017-28-Audibert-300x80-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20170826T223000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20170930T170000 DTSTAMP:20260417T144651 CREATED:20170914T235127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230718T144459Z UID:2197-1503786600-1506790800@mccainartgallery.com SUMMARY:The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: It's Not The Age It's The Mileage DESCRIPTION:With this popular exhibition The Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery welcomes the return of Carleton North favourites\, James Buxton\, Paul Buxton\, Phillip Harrington\, Shawn Taylor\, Roy Tibbits\, Kerry O’Toole while welcoming new artists Luc Cyr and Vicky Lentz\, Bruce Gray\, Craig Dow\, Ernest Clark and Stephen Hutchings  to The Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery. \n“The recurring themes in my designs are deceptive simplicity\, elegance and naturalness. When working with wood\, I typically start with a tree\, processing it into slabs. I follow my primary materials of wood and stone where they take me. My richest and most honest pieces are designed from\, and for\, the materials. Designs that use exquisite materials and maximize their strong visual assets: natural edge\, surface texture and negative space. People often ask if I built it that way\, or if it grew like that”.  Bruce Gray \nIn love for close to two decades\, the two artists Luc Cyr and Paula Lentz have combined their passion for the arts and work together forming an amazing artistic duo. “We quickly realized that we were a great team. Luc is the sculptor and Paula the painter. We combine our talents to create beautiful pieces of wood\, “they explained in concert. Luc Cyr has been sculpting and shaping wood ever since he was a young boy. As he himself explains\, he was born with a knife in his hands. “For the caricature sculptors I use spruce wood as a medium. I work with power tools for my creations. Paula then paints my pieces imaginatively using living colors that transform the work and give it a life”. Luc Cyr and Paula Lentz \nCharged with emotion\, the work is a reflective reaction to my everyday. Working in a non-representational mode\, the results are challenging\, inquisitive and colourful but never pretty. The need to express the visions in my mind’s eye is something that could not be ignored and eventually I settled upon acrylic and oils as being the best to express my vision. I continue to explore the corners of my cranium\, and strive to express my mind’s musings to my satisfaction”.

Buildings\, as metonym\, are the focus of chimerical juxtaposition wherein the disparate elements are reconciled only through insight. The images are narrative moments. The stories glimpsed are full of agency and refute the “common sense” that veils unquestioned assumptions. In all images the stories are simple and offer a choice of interpretations\, wherein lies their power to encourage a fresh look at the familiar.” \nA copperplate workshop will follow on Saturday January 14 from 9am-4pm\, cost $90.

The rich color of ripe fruit is enlivened by decorative motifs of dishes\, glassware and tablecloths. \nRevisiting the captured light and colour of Impressionism\, and reassessing the formal qualities of abstraction\, I have integrated sculptural elements in the large acrylic paintings to create shadows and tension on the painting’s surface. \nBridging representation in the watercolours and the complexity of the abstract paintings\, are seven relief structures\, each one charged with a spectrum colour\, varying in tone\, intensity and hue. Playing with the composition and the energy of an individual colour\, projected shapes and shadows reference symbolic and emotional qualities. \nThe experiences of a life lived are the source of my art while light and color have been my inspiration. Events and emotions are recalled\, ideas are revisited\, reassessed\, and transfigured into paint and the magic of spectra. \n  URL:https://mccainartgallery.com/exhibitions/spectra/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Past Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mccainartgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Stevens-July-2016-5_eq-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20160513T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20160521T160000 DTSTAMP:20260417T144651 CREATED:20160324T172514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210907T004808Z UID:1331-1463135400-1463846400@mccainartgallery.com SUMMARY:FES Student Showcase DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 14th\, 1:00 pm\nThis annual showcase of work from Florenceville Elementary School features artwork created by students K – Gr. 5 \nIt is a wonderful celebration of creativity\, fostered and encouraged by the all-star cast of teachers and staff at FES\, who place great value and understand the benefits of incorporating the arts into daily curriculum.
