SUMMARY:August Exhibition: East Gallery Dawn Steeves Structures: An Exploration of Memory
DESCRIPTION:Opening 10 August 2019\, 2 – 4 pm\nThis work began in 2017 with a series of line drawings – today the series  includes 233 drawings.\nOut of those investigations Dawn developed this colourful and enigmatic work in watercolour\, drawing and oil on canvas.\nContinually engaged with the rules of painting\, (line\, shape\, form\, composition\, colour and light)\, Dawn explores imaginary yet three dimensional structures\, both architectural and ideological. Over in one corner of the gallery\, a clothes line of oil studies taken from photographs taken by her grandfather of Dawn before the age of two\, remind the viewer of the role memory plays in representational painting.

SUMMARY:August Exhibition: West Gallery Maria Doering Cells\, Souls and Personalities
DESCRIPTION:Opening 10 August 2019\,  2-4 pm\nMaria Doering’s exhibition\, Cells\, Souls and Personalities\, asks many questions… \nWhat would we find if we viewed our personalities\, minds and souls through a microscope? \nWhat does confidence\, ambition or courage look like on a cellular level? \nWhat is the cellular make up of a soul?  \nOur body and soul\, together\, make us who we are. If we could visualize the intangible mind and the physical vessel of our bodies\, what would they look like?\nMaria answers these questions in her imaginative\, detailed and lacy linoleum reduction prints. The “Cells\, Souls and Personalities” series of linocuts gives these intangibilities a voice and anchors them in the visible world.

SUMMARY:Still and Not So Still by Francine Martin plus Daily Offerings by Charline Collette
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition opens Saturday 13 July 2019 with a reception from 2-4pm; on view through 3 August 2019. \n\nCharline Collette\nDaily Offerings \nDidn’t your mother used to hook? Rug-hooking is deeply set in the memory of most of New Brunswickers but these days adventurous fibre artists are using rug-hooking as a means of expression while remaining true to their roots. \nArtsNB has commented that “Some artists mix different materials and techniques and others like Charline Collette perpetuate the glorious tradition of figurative work.” With large-scale and sculptural pieces in this body of work\, Colette uses an abstract approach\, exploring the separation between the hooked surface and the images that are placed on them. \n“I highlight domesticity and\, by extension\, society\,” she says. “In the last two years\, I have been challenging the perception of what rug-hooking is by changing the scale and materials.” Her themes are explored in different forms\, whether by digital projection or paint on hooked panels\, sculptural forms or dimensionally hooked pieces. \n \nFrancine Martin\nStill and Not So Still \nFrancine Martin is from Edmunston NB and is a relative late-comer to the professional art scene. However\, since her retirement from teaching in 2015\, she has rapidly become recognized for her creative use of an Old Masters style known as chiaroscuro (kee·aa·ruh·skyur·ow) referring to the use of bold contrast between light and dark. Think classic works by artists like Rembrandt\, da Vinci and Caravaggio. \nMartin admits to a bit of a double personality due to growing up with a twin sister. She says it “defines my personality and is reflected in my work through the use of light and dark… I use the chiaroscuro technique in my still-life and landscape paintings\, limiting my colour palette which is mainly greys with a touch of more vibrant colour. In these nuances I find a reflection of my personality that I seek to express.” \nIn a very short timespan\, her work has been shown up and down the St John River Valley from the Banville-Pérusse Gallery in Edmundston to the Acanthus Gallery in Grand Falls and the Handworks Gallery in Saint John. Last year\, she was selected for Making Waves\, a fine art and craft show on Ministers Island near St Andrews. \nUpcoming exhibitions\n10 August-7 SeptemberDawn Steeves\, paintingsMaria Doering\, prints \n14 September-12 OctoberA family group show with Anna Torma\, David Zsako and Istvan Zsako: textile\, sculpture\, photography \n19 October-16 November \nVicky Lentz\, sculpture\, painting\, installation

SUMMARY:"Pictus" by Jared Betts plus "The Lost City" by Ian MacEachern
DESCRIPTION:Jared Betts\nPictus\n\nHailing from Moncton\, Jared Betts’ expressionist\, gestural paintings provide an immersive sensory experience. His work is included in numerous corporate and private collections in North America\, Europe\, China\, Australia and even Iceland. He has exhibited in over 100 group and solo shows in cultural hotspots such as Paris\, London and New York.\nUsing visual cues as a means of stimulating metaphysical sensation\, Betts confides that his paintings “inhabit the space where consciousness descends into dream… I seek to examine this dream-like suppression of recognizable imagery and capture the visceral sensation that bubbles up from underneath.” \nIan MacEachern\nThe Lost City\n\nRecording life in Canada’s oldest city through more than a thousand images\, photographer Ian MacEachern witnessed the profound transformation of Saint John NB as it was buffeted by the forces of modernization during the 1960s. These photographs display extraordinary power in their honest depictions of fleeting moments and illustrate a certain raw humanity.\nFor a new large-format book\, “The Lost City: Ian MacEachern’s Photographs of Saint John”\, architectural and social historian John Leroux has selected 75 black-and-white photographs drawn from MacEachern’s exceptional archive and has written an accompanying essay that examines the effect of urban renewal on civic architecture\, historic neighbourhoods and community structure. There may be lessons to be learned here. \nThis touring exhibition\, on view through Saturday 6 July 2019 and sponsored by the Beaverbrook Gallery and the Canada Council for the Arts (among others)\, allows photography enthusiasts and community planning pundits alike to view dozens of archival prints that chronicle an urban way of life that has been largely forgotten until now.

SUMMARY:"What The Mirror Doesn't See" by Laura Roy plus "Portraits in Clay" by Alison MacNeil
DESCRIPTION:Laura Roy\nUntil June 1st\, the Gallery is presenting imaginative new needle work collectively titled “What the Mirror Doesn’t See” by Laura Roy. This very personal work in textiles and drawing explores the artist’s experience of living with chronic pain and presents poignant embroidered images\, in which each stitch metaphorically mends\, fixes and heals while representing a unique and personal journey. \nAfter graduation from Carleton North High School\, Laura went on to pursue visual art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (now NSCAD University) for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2012 and a Certificate in Design in 2016. Currently working primarily as a graphic artist\, she is also a contributing designer and co-organizer of the annual NSCAD Wearable Art Show in Halifax. Her work will be included in the Marion McCain Exhibition of Contemporary Atlantic Art this fall at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery\, Fredericton. \n \nAlison MacNeil\nAlso on view in the Gallery through June 1st is a retrospective presentation of impressive work from sculptor Alison MacNeil\, “Portraits in Clay”. Currently living in Nova Scotia\, Alison has worked and taught internationally. Her art —portraits (including miniatures)\, sculpture\, commemorative medals— has been recognized by important international institutions and galleries from the United Kingdom to British Columbia. Subjects have included Governor General Georges Vanier and author Timothy Findley. \nShe has taught extensively in Europe and Canada and her expertise in using the Bremen Method for sculptural portraits led to the publication of a book on the subject in 1996. A stroke three years ago was a setback for this talented artist but she overcame physical limitations and today works exclusively on miniature clay sculpture or\, as she refers to them\, “handheld” treasures.

SUMMARY:CONVERSATIONS
DESCRIPTION:Craft NB Juried Member Biennale Exhibition\nCurated by Vicky Lentz\nThis exhibition features the work of 21 New Brunswick artists\, each exploring different interpretations of the exhibition title and theme. Conversations is but a small sample of the kinds of dialogue we take part in – between friends\, family\, within ourselves and between the artists and their materials\, the art and the audience. The show features a rich and diverse range of media where the hand works in tandem with the mind. Each and every piece is unique and has its own story to tell. \nsideshow: a conversation with Katrina\, features the work of Katrina Isbill-Floyd\, aka Bella McBride. Katrina is a skilled artisan who accidently found needle felting at a young age and ultimately turned it into her passion in life.

SUMMARY:CUBA CONTEMPORARY PRINTS
DESCRIPTION:Opening 22 September 2018\nArtists Danisbel Abad Lopez and Mauricis Reyes Aranda\nalong with the exhibition curator Robert Van de Peer will be in attendance at the opening. \nThe exhibition Cuba: Contemporary Prints is the result of a creative partnership between artists from Canada and Cuba. The bridging force has been master printmaker Robert Van de Peer. In residence during the summer at Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre’s Printshop in St Andrews\, New Brunswick\, Robert spends the winter in the printshop at the Taller Cultural Luis Diaz Eduardo in Santiago De Cuba. \n“My part-time residence in Cuba over the past six years has given me the opportunity to teach non-toxic techniques in printmaking and form a close relationship with Cuban artists. Cuban printmakers are limited by the availability of materials\, and the most common technique that is used is collagraph\, a print made from a matrix of cardboard and glue. They have refined this process to a fine degree\,” says Van De Peer. He described the Cuban printmakers’ creative ideas as often dream-like\, romantic in many ways\, and having a distinct echo of Africa\, brought to the island through the early slave trade. \nWe are honoured to host this exhibition which\, in itself\, has been a collaborative effort between our sister galleries Sunbury Shores\, the Saint John Art Centre and us. The Cuban printmakers are masters of invention using the materials that are available to them and the results are impressive. \nJennifer Stead\nExecutive Director

SUMMARY:Thomas Sparling: Grand Manan  Watercolours
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Sparling will attend the opening on 22 September 2018\, 2-4 pm. \nThomas Sparling’s scenes of the coastal landscapes of Grand Manan Island capture the light\, atmosphere and textures of the island with a bold and assured handling of his brush and paint. A resident of Saint Andrew’s New Brunswick in the warmer seasons\,  Sparling has been painting this landscape for many years and his  strong ties to the region are evident in his art. His close observations of nature are described in watercolour with bold forms\, deep colour and lively mark making which together foreground the abstract nature of representation.

SUMMARY:Side Show: William Forrestall - Recycled and Reused
DESCRIPTION:Opening 7 July 2018\, 2-4 pm \nThe July 2018 Side Show features two of  William Forrestall’s  unique kinetic sculptures developed within the format of working peddle cars. \nForrestall has developed his own unique approach to exploring kinetic aesthetics and intuitive structures developed from recycled materials. His cars are made from recycled and reused materials including off-cuts\, recycled bicycle parts\, old chairs\, construction materials and anything else that can be put to use. \nFrom the work of Los Angles based Chris Burden’s creation of his B car\, Don Potts purely aesthetic yet functional vehicles to the 2007 Sobeys Award winner Michel de Broin’s transformation of a standard car to a human powered vehicle\, the art world offers many examples of artists exploring the potential of functional vehicles as an art form. \nWilliam Forrestall will be giving a kinetic car summer art camp for ages 8 – 88 at the River Art Centre Studios to encourage a wider community involvement and exploration of the vehicle motif. Please call the Gallery to register for the class which runs August 7 – 10\, 2018. Spaces are limited.

SUMMARY:Terry Perkins: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Opening 7 July 2018\, 2-4 pm\nSponsors for the exhibition include:\nCarleton County Toy Run\, Carleton Enterprises\, Catherine and Paul Giberson\, Alden Henderson\nJohn Lang\, Philip Lang\, Langs Lodge\, Outback Joe’s\, Ann Marie\, Nicole and Jason Perkins \nTerry Perkins’ art evolved and changed over the years\, but the consistent theme that is evident throughout this exhibition is his love for the landscape\, heritage and life as he knew it in Carleton County\, New Brunswick. He lived and worked in Florenceville-Bristol and is well know in the community as the artist who painted the mural which hung outside the co-op for over 20 years.  He attended George Brown college in Toronto in the early 1980s to learn the art of sign painting  and maintained a studio practice throughout his adult life. His interests and styles developed and changed over the years and the gallery is fortunate to be able to include his first painting and drawing\, as well as the last painting\, River\,  which was literally taken from his easel for the exhibition. Terry was a motor cycle enthusiast and as president of the Toy Run he painted many bikes and helmets for other bikers over the years. Included in the exhibition is one  of his air brushed gas tanks and some studies that he used to paint his fellow bikers’ bikes.

SUMMARY:Side Show:       Colette Laliberte   Feb 3 to Mar 10\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:Colette Laliberté –  Statement\nShedding Memories | Des hangars dans le temps\nThe drawings reference the rectangular\, decaying sheds found in Duntara\, a remote Newfoundland out port located on the coast at Bonavista Bay. 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

SUMMARY:Side Show: Monique Bujold-Brown
DESCRIPTION:Using  the experimental and creative process of Raku Firing\, Monique’s ceramics are inspired by the landscapes of New Brunswick. The shapes and forms of the trees inspire the designs of her boxes while her interest in exploring fish is rooted in her childhood as a fisherman’s daughter on the Bay de Chaleurs. \nFrom the Artist \nHumble Evocative Raku\nWhy clay? How can I make it reflect who I am? How far can I go with it? We all have a need to speak\, to\nconvey how we view the world. How can I make this mud express who I am?\nWestern raku firing has become my favorite method of exploring my artistic voice. This style calls for\nexperimentation and creativity. And it involves playing with open flames which I love!\nIn the summer of 2004\, I took my first raku class at the Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Center in Saint\nAndrew NB with Peter Thomas. That was it! I was hooked from then on to this type of pottery. The\ncomplexity and yet simple\, impressive results of this genre is the best way I have of expressing my inner\npersona.\nMy incentive to go ahead with a body of work comes from a variety of inspiration and impulse. The idea\ncan be from admiring someone else’s work\, it can be from a sense of awe felt in front of beautiful\nscenery\, or it can be from a sense of inner peace\, of happiness and joy for whatever reason. All of these\ninfluences have played their part in this work of raku fired ceramic pieces.\nThe ‘eggs’ came from much experimentation after seeing Evelyne Shoenmann’s work\, a ceramist from\nSwitzerland. Her raku pieces are a subtle balance between obscurity and simplicity\, Wabi-Sabi\, a\nharmony I’m in constant torment of achieving.\nFor the Tree Boxes\, the beauty of our Maritime Provinces is my inspiration. The long drives taken to\nreach other parts in the Maritimes from my home in northern New Brunswick are the perfect occasion\nto replenish my inspiration. I find the pristine outlines of the magnificent pines and spruce the most\ncompelling of all.\nThe colored boxes result from a poem titled ‘Colors’ written for me by my husband. His verses led me to\ncreate different extruded boxes of different colors each with the corresponding verses written inside.\nThe fish theme is rooted in my happy childhood raised as a fisherman’s daughter on the Baie des\nChaleurs. This was a time when there was no concern for marine life’s present precarious state due to\nglobal warming and pollution. For me\, fishes impart a sense of vitality\, a zest for life\, a giddy sense of\nquirkiness. My fishes are my way of stirring awareness for the underwater realm.\nThe chawans\, Japanese tea bowl\, are part of my never ending quest to achieve this commanding humble\nform.\nWorking with mud is imparting the outcome the shape of my soul. \nMonique Bujold-Brown

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”.

SUMMARY:Pandemonium Diary: 50 Copperplate Etchings
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception Thursday January 12\, 2017 from 7-9pm \nPlease join the Gallery in welcoming our first exhibiting artist of the year\, Bob Morouney. \n“Pandemonium Diary is comprised of 50 copperplate etchings\, all visual metaphors. 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. Look to our events page on facebook.com/mccainartgallery for more details. You can register by calling 392-6769 or emailing bryanne@mccainartgallery.com

SUMMARY:The Paintings of David McKay
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday September 29 (7-9PM)\nOn display September 29th – November 5\, 2016\nThis exhibition will feature work inspired by my native and beloved home province of New Brunswick as well as a few things inspired by recent trips to Scotland and Ireland … the land of my ancestors.  I work in the watercolour and egg tempera painting media and both media will be shown.  The images that I paint\, are usually created from a combination of memory and imagination.  Although my work is realistic in genre\, I always must feel an emotional connection with my subject matter and therefore\, the final result is not simply a direct reproduction of an image or place.\nDavid McKay is an elected member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA) and is on the board of the Canada Council for the Arts.\nDavid has been painting professionally since 1972. During that time\, McKay has exhibited in galleries in Canada\, the USA and Europe including The National Gallery of Canada and The Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris\, France.\nDavid paints his native province of New Brunswick; its landscape\, people and buildings in the egg tempera and watercolour media.\nwww.davidmckayartist.com\nDavid’s work is included in the collections of:\nHis Royal Highness Prince Andrew\nThe University of New Brunswick\nThe Beaverbrook Art Gallery\nMount Allison University\nThe City of Fredericton\nIrving Oil Limited\nMcCain Foods Ltd.

SUMMARY:SPECTRA - Nancy Stevens
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday\, August 18th (7-9PM)\nOn display until September 24th\, 2016\nThree separate but connected groups of paintings pay homage to the power and behavior of colour. \nIn a series of seven watercolours\, I return to the traditional still-life genre\, where each painting focusses on a spectrum colour. 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

SUMMARY:Les B'old Hags
DESCRIPTION:Cover Image: “Because I’m Vintage…my cup runneth over” by Patricia Winans mixed media 12.7 x 25.4 cm \nOpening Reception Thursday\, July 7th\, 7-9PM\nOn display until Saturday\, August 13th\nLes B’old Hags are a renowned community of French and English female artists (ages 68 – 77) all harboring similar concerns  – “now that I am old what do I really think of the extra time I have been given? Do I love every minute of it or do I live in fear of death and the dying process?”\nHuge strides in medical science have given the aging population a new lease on life with an extra 10-20 years of physical health. However\, these Les Hags aren’t so sure this is ultimately for the best. They wonder “what is happening to our souls and spirits? Is the extra time only adding to our pain of watching loved ones die? Are we to marinate in boredom? Do we engender more fear of a painful\, undignified death? Will we fritter away the extra time in the same manner of our other years?\nDue to their long years of learning their art/craft\, Les B’old Hags have the technical skills and far reaching thought processes to tell their stories and it is these and other questions that the work in this unique group show will address.\nThis multi-media exhibition brings awareness to the aging and art connection and incorporates sculpture\, poetry\, fibre art\, music\, painting\, and performance.\n \n

SUMMARY:Earworm
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition features the latest work from the Emerge Collective\, based out of Fredericton\, New Brunswick. A formidable force of seven artists\, the Emerge Collective includes Larry Holder\, Alison Green\, Mark Cameron\, Biff Mitchell\, Tanya Thompson\, Michael Doucet and Dawn Steeves.\nFor the last year\, members of the Emerge Collective have been pondering the affects of music on their lives. There is no denying that music – certain artists\, songs and lyrics in particular – have a hand in molding our personalities and life perspective.\nThis body of work illustrates the strong influence that music can have shaping our thoughts – in this case the artists explore how musical lyrics lend to their feelings about the impact of technology on society and the environment.\nTo start the project\, each artist selected an excerpt from a song that has an environmental theme that created a strong image in their head – something they could translate visually. Their resulting works offer a concrete interpretation of their musical visions that provoke the audience to consider these same environmental issues.\nThe show features a variety of media\, reflecting the wide range of materials and approaches of the current membership\, including oil and acrylic paintings\, sculpture\, fibre art\, photography and music.
