www.whatcommuseum.orgLesley Dill’s Poetic VisionsWHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Oct 23-Mar 4, 2012 Lesley Dill’s innovative art practicecombines elements of language, poetry, performance and multi-media visual art to explore themes offaith and spirituality through the human form and its coverings. Throughout her career lyrical vocabularyhas been a binding factor in Dill’s artworks, serving as a bridge to the inner world of universalemotions and complexities. The Poetic Visions exhibit focuses on two bodies of work; metallic sculptureslike Shimmer and a 2010 installation based on the life of Sister Gertrude Morgan (1900-1980), aNew Orleans preacher and missionary who used her music and art as tools of her ministry.For the installation Hell Hell Hell/Heaven Heaven Heaven: Encountering Sister Gertrude Morgan andRevelation, Dill constructed two lavish gowns to reflect Morgan’s early life and her life after she experienceda divine revelation that she had been chosen to be the bride of Christ. The white-based weddinggown, adorned with textand cascading train-like bannersthat speak of her calling,is visually connected to theother black-based dress in aunified space draped withpoetic references. The stronguse of meaningful wordsstring together a journeybetween heaven and hell,dark and light, good and evil.Shimmer, the other mainpiece that composes the coreof this show, is a dramaticCOURTESY OF ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY, NEW ORLEANASLesley Dill, Hell Hell Hell / Heaven Heaven Heaven: Encountering Sister Gertrude Morganand Revelation, detail [Whatcom Museum, Bellingham WA, Oct 23-Mar 4]oceanic wall-mounted workmade of thousands of feet ofsilvery wire threads. The cascading60-foot long sculptureis integrated with the mystical poetry of Salvador Espriu (1913-1985) and materiality evokes a relationshipbetween the physical and the spiritual. Metaphoric imagery in Dill’s installations illuminatesaspects of the diversity of faith traditions and the underlying notions of transcendental experience.Allyn Cantortion, re-explores her memories of apivotal childhood event, realizingthat what she remembers and whatshe recounts to people is a‘cleansed’ version of the tale; Jan21-Mar 31 Edward Burtynsky:Encounters, work by Burtynsky willbe selected by over 20 Canadiansfrom diverse walks of life eachbringing their own meaning to theartist’s work, his photographic subjectsare rich in detail and scale yetopen in their meaning; OngoingSacred Weft: Returning the Voiceto Women, traditional Salish weavingdone by Cree and Saulteauxwomen as part of their journeytowards healing and self-discovery;by Dennis Oppenheim, the Glenbowreveals the long-awaited site of hissculpture Device to Root Out Evil.Herringer Kiss Gallery709A 11 Ave SW ✆403-228-4889www.herringerkissgallery.comtues-fri 10am-5:30pm sat 11am-5pm.

V I G N E T T E S • Nov/Dec/Jan 2011/12AlbertaRobin LauRenceOTTO ROGERS: PAINTING/SCULPTURE Paul Kuhn Gallery, Calgary,Oct 15-Nov 12 This exhibition of new work by one of Canada’smost esteemed modernists establishes a “conversation” betweensubtly modulated abstract paintings and wall-mounted sculptures.Through both two and three dimensions, Rogers expresses hisenduring interests in the relationship between art and nature,language and consciousness, and diversity and unity. Ultimatelyembedded in his work is his fundamental belief in the oneness ofall things.ANGELA LEACH: NEW WORK Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary, Oct22-Nov 19 Although her abstractions evoke Op Art and areoften compared with those of Bridget Riley, Angela Leachidentifies herself as a process painter. Her dazzling geometricdesigns are based on the orderly repetition of a very particularrange of colours. Influenced by her background in fibre arts andtextile design, Leach’s beautifully executed paintings compel uswith their giddy arrays of wavy and wiggly lines.DON POLLACK: FAR FROM HOME Newzones, Calgary, Dec 1-Jan14, 2012 “I try to imbue the picture plane with what makesnature potent, mysterious and ultimately untamable,” says realistpainter Don Pollack, “while at the same time manifesting anawareness that this view of nature is a product of my ownmythology.” Although his landscapes may employ heightenedand saturated colours, they are often filtered through a dreamyhaze that diffuses their forms and adds to their mystery.A PASSION FOR NATURE: LANDSCAPE PAINTING FROM 19THCENTURY FRANCE Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Oct 15-Feb20, 2012 On loan from the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington,DC the 33 masterworks in this exhibition trace theevolution of landscape painting in France from the mid-19thcentury to the early 20th. From Realism through to Impressionismand on to Symbolism, the survey includes works byGustave Courbet, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoiramong others.THE WINNIPEG ALPHABESTIARY University of Lethbridge ArtGallery, Lethbridge, Jan 12-Mar 1, 2012 This engaging groupof images, originally commissioned from leading Winnipegartists by Border Crossings magazine, takes the form of an“alphabestiary” – an alphabet illustrated with images ofanimals. From Wanda Koop’s looming ape to Shaun Morin’ssnoozing zebra, these interesting, odd and sometimes imaginarybeasts amuse us even as they stimulate ideas around ourrelationship with the natural world.Otto RogersAngela LeachDon PollackPierre-Auguste RenoirNeil Farberwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 13

www.trepanierbaer.comDouglas Coupland:Twelve Slogans for the Early Twenty-first CenturyTRÉPANIERBAER GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Dec 8-Jan 14, 2012 Twelve Slogans for the Early Twenty-firstCentury (2011) is a limited edition of six prints plus two artist proofs. Each edition includes 12 differentslogans on coloured panels measuring 22 ¥ 17 ¥0.5 inches. The McLuhanesque slogans areappropriate for the times: “Our only hope is toinvent something smarter than ourselves” and“It’s okay to want to stop being an individual”.The exhibit also includes samples fromCoupland’s new Momento Mori series of 28paintings shown at the Toronto Art Fair(2011). The QR paintings and accompanyingcone sculptures are vividly coloured and opticallyappealing. Scanned with a QR code reader,the paintings reveal such phrases as“Everything Beautiful is True”. As Couplanddescribes them, they are “imprecations toyoung people to take the preciousness of lifeand move forward with it”. Mixing phrases like“God is Great” beside “Whoever Dies WithThe Most Toys Wins” creates some startlingeffects. Installed alongside are beautiful, solidmaple cones with steel tips and bases.Douglas Coupland, the recipient of manyawards and honours, is a world-famousdesigner, lecturer and author with more thantwo dozen works of fiction to his credit. Hisrecent biography of Marshall McLuhan (partof the Penguin Canada series, ExtraordinaryCanadians) has much of his recent practice.Coupland graduated from the Emily CarrDouglas Coupland, L: Everything Beautiful is True (2011), acrylic andlatex on canvas, R: A Deep Meditation About Plastic No. 2 (2011),steel, alder, lacquer [TrépanierBaer Gallery, Calgary AB, Dec 8-Jan 14]College of Art and Design (1984) with a focus on sculpture, and continued his studies at the EuropeanDesign Institute in Milan, Italy and the Hokkaido College of Art and Design in Sapporo,Japan.

www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/index.htmlNorman Lundin: Inside/OutsideHALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Nov 19-Jan 22, 2012 This exhibition brings togethersome 30 paintings and drawings in the elegant signature style of the highly regarded artist, NormanLundin. Well-known for his subdued, often foreboding, and contemplative approach, Lundin’s interiors,still lifes and landscapes give a distinct perceptual impression of the solitary experience. The attentiongiven to immaculately renderedglass jars, tin cans and other studioobjects reflects the pensive state thatartists often deeply sink into during thecreative process. With a focus ondefining and articulating space, hisinvestigation into the characteristicsand effects of the use of light lies at thecore of Lundin’s artwork.According to Lundin, the intentionbehind his compositional elementsis to not communicate muchNorman Lundin, Still Life for A Gray Afternoon (2009), oil on canvas [Hallie FordMuseum of Art, Portland OR, Nov 19-Jan 22]emotion, but to reveal the negativespace in which each physical objectexists. In his words, “One cannot havean object without having a void” as “objects are not there to be described; they are there to explain thespace”. This summation on the treatment of atmospheric arrangements is primary in the artist’s bodyof work.Lundin is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Washington where he taught from 1964-2004. He has a long list of exhibition history and has been the recipient of numerous awards, fellowshipsand grants. His work can be found in the permanent collections of such major museums as NewYork’s Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Fine Arts Museum of San Franciscoand the Seattle Art Museum.

www.saag.caGroup Exhibition/Emotional BlackmailSOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Sep 24-Nov 13, 2011 Artwork expressing emotionshas been rather suspect for the past two or three decades so it’s refreshing to see an exhibit promotingtheir reappearance. EmotionalBlackmail is a curated show “tracing atendency over the last decade awayfrom irony and towards an attempt atsincere expression”.Curators Markús Andrésson andChen Tamir have been looking at thedifficulty of generating and analyzingemotion in contemporary art, and theways in which artists are currentlyusing emotions. The resulting exhibitoffers a sample of complex works in aneffort to examine what they call a “newstream of sincerity” or “neo-sincerity”.The selected artists are KristleifurBjörnsson, Kerry Downey, Hadley+Maxwell, Haraldur Jónsson, RagnarKjartansson and Magnus Sigurdarson,Meiro Koizumi, Tova Mozard, BennyNemerofsky, Ramsay and AleesaCohene, Christodoulos Panayiotou,Bert Rodriguez, Ariel Schlesinger,Sigga Björg Sigurardóttir, Untitled (2010) [Southern Alberta Art Gallery,Lethbridge AB, Sep 24-Nov 13]Amie Siegel and Sigga Björg Sigurardóttir. One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibit is thedegree to which emotions – or their equivalent – are expressed through cultural lenses: language, theatre,film and music ranging from pop music, YouTube, and teen culture to Ingmar Bergman and selfhelp.Mia JohnsonCOURTESY OF THE ARTISTapproach to nature and the naturallandscape; David Robinson, “NewWork”, sculptures juxtapose themselvesin urban architectural settings,demonstrate a modernistic approachto a very classical domain in art – thenude.Paul Kuhn Gallery724 11th Ave SW ✆403-263-1162www.paulkuhngallery.comtues-sat 10am-5:30pm and by appt.Thru Nov 12 Otto Rogers, “Painting/Sculpture”,new work; Nov 19-Dec 14 Takao Tanabe, “A Selectionof Works 1956-2009”, paintingsselected by the artist.Stride Art Gallery Association1004 MacLeod Trail SE ✆403-262-8507www.stride.ab.catues-sat 11am-5pm.

www.seattleartmuseum.orgPainting Seattle: Kamekichi Tokita & Kenjiro NomuraSEATTLE ASIAN ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Oct 22-Feb 19, 2012 During the 1930s, Japanese AmericansKamekichi Tokita and Kenjiro Nomura were part of a small number of progressive artists inSeattle that included Morris Graves, KennethCallahan and Mark Tobey. DuringWorld War II, they were interned at theMinidoka War Relocation Center in Idaho.The 20 works gathered for this intimateshow, mostly pre-WWII paintings,include eight pieces from SAM’s permanentcollection. Familiar street scenes ofSeattle and the Pacific Northwest reflectthe urban landscape of the 1930s in a styleclosely related to American realist painting.Tokita and Nomura were both distinguishedby their contribution to a uniqueKenjiro Nomura (1896-1956), Alley (c.1932), oil on canvas [Seattle AsianArt Museum, Seattle WA, Oct 22-Feb 19]first-generation Japanese-American perspectiveto American art.The exhibit includes one entirelyabstract work by Nomura, who was influencedby the aesthetics of Mark Tobey. A prolific artist, Nomura continued to work during internmentand produced many images of landscape and daily life using any government-issued materialshe was able to obtain. SAM mounted a solo show of Nomura’s work in their new museum in 1933,and after his death, a memorial exhibit in 1960.Kamekichi Tokita was also a prominent artist who exhibited at SAM in the mid-1930s. Beginningon the day Pearl Harbor was bombed, the artist kept a diary highlighting in detail his personal accountsand experiences during the war. Tokita died in 1948 and his rare, insightful diary serves as a basis for thepublication that accompanies this exhibit.

He hassince exhibited his ephemeral work in London, Birmingham, Dundee, Dublin, Munich, Berlin,Rome and Chicago among othercities. Endless façade was organized inconjunction with Ikon Gallery,Birmingham.Inspired by science fiction aswell as futuristic architecture anddesign, Orchardson creates proplikesculptures that, despite thematerials – wood, resin and epoxycoatedsteel – appear to launchthemselves weightlessly through theair of the gallery spaces. Whethergrounded or suspended, they arequintessentially elegant and quitemagical, as if scaffolding or a fallingbridge was freeze-framed.Endless façade (2011) was createdin response to Isamu Noguchi’sstage sets for the 1955 RoyalRobert Orchardson, Endless façade (2011), view of installation at Ikon Gallery,Birmingham, England [Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 18-Jan 15Shakespeare Company production of King Lear.

GALLERY VIEWSNothing is Certain but Death and TaxesBY ANN ROSENBERGannrosenberg@shaw.caIf Benjamin Franklin thought this was true in the 18th century, his aphorism might benefit fromthis 21st-century amendment. Even today, death remains the universal leveller but taxes vary enormouslyfrom property to property, city to city and from country to country.The tax assessments for commercial galleries in Vancouver are so outrageous you will think I’mmaking them up. For a premise in the South Granville Gallery Row area, the 2010 tax bills rangedfrom $45,000-$60,000. Some particulars of commercial tax assessments (unlike residential tax estimates)are available to the public and hence, most can be obtained by phoning City Hall or checkingan appropriate website. This service accommodates those who are nosy and/or seriously curiousabout renting or owning property on certain shopping streets. Further research revealed thatrenters of gallery premises are often subject to triple net leases which require tenants to be solelyresponsible for all costs relating to net real estate taxes,insurance, and maintenance in addition to the rental fee.These conditions are set forth in legally binding shortor long-term agreements made between owners andoccupiers. Whichever way you examine the situation,taxes are a fundamental costly factor.Xisa Huang (owner of the Bau-Xi Gallery since 1970)gave me an indication of other items that all galleries typicallypay for such as salaries, health and other benefits forstaff members; utilities including telephone, fax and internetconnections; security alarms; printing, advertisingand mailing costs; equipment maintenance and repairs ofmany kinds; vehicles and shipping; and brokerage,accounting and legal fees. She is amazed that despiteGallery space on Granville Street in Vancouverever-escalating costs, many local galleries are still open and that more artists than 20 years ago aremaking money with art as their full-time occupation.Andy Sylvester, Director of the Equinox Gallery, told me a few things about taxation categoriesand gallery-location restrictions. On South Granville and elsewhere in Vancouver, galleries aretaxed in the same category as retail shops that sell shoes, clothing and similar commodities which isdifferent from the way property taxes for grocers and restaurants are calculated. Furthermore(although these are slightly different issues) you can’t operate a gallery in a neighbourhood designatedas residential or in an industrial area filled with warehouses or factories unless the zoning isC3 which does allow for arts and crafts.The historically-sanctioned zone where the Equinox is situated is managed by the SouthGranville Business Improvement Association. Among other things, the Association boasts a lavishwebsite as one of its benefits and it lobbies for more equitable levels of taxation. Galleries like theEquinox are required to become members for a fee of several thousand a year. Last year the commercialtax component for Sylvester's gallery was assessed at just over $45,000. No wonder he isseeking a different future location for the Equinox Gallery.In comparison, across the border the commercial tax costs for a major gallery are considerablyless. For example, Phen Huang, proprietress of the Foster/White Gallery in Seattle's PioneerSquare, received a $20,000 assessment for 2010. With slightly less than 11,000 square feet of streetlevel space, the Foster/White is comparable in size to the Equinox Gallery. In an area somewhatakin to Vancouver's South Granville Gallery Row, a 9th Avenue gallery in Portland with over 2,000square feet was assessed less than $4,400 in annual property taxes.There are warnings about the ticking time bomb that is lurking behind the calls for makingchanges to the extreme inequities between commercial and residential tax rates. The outcome maygive home owners some sleepless nights.26 PREVIEW ■ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2011/12

www.granvillefineart.comRay Mead (1921-1998)GRANVILLE FINE ART, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 26-Dec 10, 2011 Ray Mead: Works from the Collectionof Carolynn Lund-Mead honours a pioneer of contemporary painting in Canada and member of thePainters Eleven. The Painters Eleven was formed in 1953 with the aim of promoting more abstractand experimental art than what was being produced by theGroup of Seven. The group included prominent artists JackBush, Harold Town, Jock MacDonald and Ray Mead duringits exciting and contentious eight years.Ray Mead has been described as “a purposeful painterwith a sophisticated sense of composition”. An admirer ofthe work of Franz Kline and Nicolas de Staël, Mead composedsimple arrangements of line and shape that nonethelesshave a strong anecdotal quality. He worked with multiplelayers of paint to build up “paintscapes” that strove tocapture a child-like quality, although they were executedwith great sophistication.Mead’s work was included in shows at the NationalGallery of Canada in 1956, 1972 and 1992. Until his deathin 1998, he showed in many solo, two-person and groupexhibitions in Ontario and Quebec. His work is in numerouscollections including the National Gallery of CanadaRay Mead, Untitled (c. 1956), oil on canvas,[Granville Fine Art, Vancouver BC, Nov 26-Dec 10]and the Art Gallery of Ontario. A retrospective of his paintingsand drawings was recently shown at Barbara EdwardsContemporary, Toronto.

The exhibit will be the first time Kai McCalland Mo Tan have shown in Vancouver. While McCall andYu focus on figures, Tan captures the anonymity of largecities.Kai McCall lives and works in Montreal when he hasshown at Galerie d’Avignon and Galerie McCLure. Hisunusual surrealist paintings pair pin-up girls in epic poseswith mythical creatures. Fanciful and slightly ambiguous,McCall’s colourful narratives are dense with referencesfrom art history, literature, illustration and films. Kwan Yusimilarly combines images and text from art magazineswith objects in his studio to create contemporary but enigmaticjuxtapositions. Yu’s style, however, is completely different.Sombre, almost spooky figures and faces emergefrom dark backgrounds and layers of wash. Yu has lived inVancouver since 1992, where he graduated with a BA fromEmily Carr Institute of Art & Design in 2001.Mo Tan is a Singapore artist based in Paris who hastravelled to more than 70 countries. Working from photosof urban scenes, he creates realistic renderings and partialglimpses of city streets, office windows, subway stations,railway yards, piers and bridges in Yokohama, New York,Kai McCall, Always (2011), oil on canvas [JacanaGallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 15-Dec 18]Paris, Rotterdam, Shanghai and dozens of other cities wordwide.

Snider has made significant contributions to contemporary art practice in Canada.From 1981-2009 he taught visual artstudio, critical theory, technical theatreand social art history in the School for theContemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University,and is currently a ProfessorEmeritus. He served as Curator of ContemporaryArt for the Art Gallery ofGreater Victoria, and for Open SpaceGallery, Victoria, BC. He is well-knownas a writer of art criticism.Snider’s artwork has included sculpture,performance design, models, drawingsand videos. His models may be hismost popular pieces. Snider began creatingscale models early in his career toaccompany formal proposals for larger,site-specific artworks. During these years,he began to recognize their potential as conceptual prototypes addressing issues in the public sphere.While the full-scale public art projects represented by these models are often unreasonable and evenimpossible, the models themselves serve to illustrate and underscore issues of global concern.Greg Snider has been the recipient of numerous grants, including Canada Council Senior ArtsGrants. He is represented in a number of public and private collections in Canada, including the ArtGallery of Greater Victoria and the National Gallery of Canada.

Conservator’s CornerBY NADINE POWERFINE ART CONSERVATOR, nadinepower@hotmail.comTo Line or Not to Line: Structural Remedies for Canvas PaintingsBefore treatment: large tears to the canvas on upper leftIn 2006, when Las Vegas hotel tycoon, Steve Wynn,famously put his elbow through Picasso’s Le Rêve, a collectivecringe rippled through the conservation world. It wasnot just the heartbreaking damage to a masterpiece thatmade the incident so horrendous, nor was it the fact that theaccident nullified Wynn’s deal to sell the work for $139 millionto Steven A. Cohen, but those who have repaired canvastears knew that the work involved in restoring the paintingwould certainly be difficult.In historic conservation processes, it would have oftenbeen necessary to line a canvas such as Le Rêve to repair thedamage. Lining is a centuries-old process that involves gluinga second fabric backing to a weakened or damaged canvasto provide structural support to a fragile painting. Traditional linings used animal-based glue paste orwax-resin mixtures to attach the fabric to the canvas, and a heated iron and/or a large press were then usedto flatten the two fabrics together. Although often very effective, the treatments were invasive, harsh, andoccasionally resulted in the flattening of impasto, impregnation of the paint with wax, or even shrinking ofthe original canvas.Still today, lining can be a necessary step in the preservationof a work of art and is often chosen by conservators when treatingvery old or badly damaged art works. The 20th-centurydevelopment of new adhesives and fabrics have improved thelining process considerably, making it a more controllable one.Advancements have reduced the amount of heat, moisture andpressure required, and have also increased the reversibility of alined painting. Repairs to the painting Still Life with Flowers byApril Banyack is an example where, although lining would havebeen an appropriate choice due to the severity of the tears, lessinvasive treatment methods were considered.Still Life with Flowers was torn in several places when itfell off the wall onto the back of a chair. Painted in 1954, the canvas was in relatively good conditionalthough some weakening around the tacking margins was noted.After surface cleaning and varnish removal, the tears were carefullyrewoven, using both the original fibres and canvas threadinserts secured with welding powder and a hot tacking iron. Tearmending, although often extremely time consuming, can be arewarding alternative to lining, and when properly executed, ispractically invisible when viewed from both the front and back.Because this painting was weak around its tacking edge, thedecision was also made to strip line the painting. Strip lining is aAfter treatment: detail of mended tear from the backBefore treatment: tears from the backtechnique that introduces adhesive and a backing fabric only aroundthe exterior edges of the work, where a canvas is often the weakest,providing the necessary support for restretching the canvas onto its stretcher bars. After the structural treatments,the painting was filled and retouched to replace lost paint around the tear areas and then varnished.Although lining would have been a faster method and certainly would have been an effective treatmentfor mending the tears, the concern for the integrity of the original canvas and the artwork as a historicobject influenced the decision to mend by reweaving.NEXT ISSUE: Modern Materials: The Restoration of two murals in the Simon Fraser University Theatre – Part I68 PREVIEW ■ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2011/12

The straightforward compositions,heavy contours and dark tonality add emotional weight to thealready poignant imagery, which can be appreciated for both starkbeauty and breadth of human insight. Rouault produced 58 prints forthe complete series between 1914-1927, a period shaped by the horrificevents of World War I which largely informed the “Mercy andWar” subject matter.DAVID ECKARD: DEPLOYMENT The Art Gym at Marylhurst University,Marylhurst, Oct 3-Dec 11 This mid-career survey covers 20 years ofEckard’s multidisciplinary artwork. Some 40 works by the Portlandbasedartist show the scope of his practice through examples of newsculpture, painting, performance and video, as well as selections of pastartworks, objects, documentations, drawings, and physical remnantsfrom installations and performances. A portion of this survey is exhibitedin collaboration with The White Box at the University of Oregon’sSchool of Architecture and Allied Arts in Portland, with a focus on newertwo-dimensional pieces and imaginative video productions.TAKESHI SHIKAMA: SILENT RESPIRATION OF FORESTS Blue SkyGallery, Portland, Nov 3-27 After a lengthy career as a designer, TokyobornTakeshi Shikama began photographing the forest where he washand-building a mountain lodge from trees he felled on site. Seducedby the immanent beauty and radiant energy of the forest, Shikamapursued making prints of images captured deep in natural forestedsettings. This collection of photographic prints on hand-made paperreflects an invisible reality that exists behind the visible reality in quiet,eloquent scenes with diffused light that speaks of otherworldliness.BLAKELY DADSON: WERD SCHO WIDA Chambers@916, Portland, Nov3-Dec 23 “Things will get better again” is the translation for thisexhibit title, Werd Scho Wida, a Franconian colloquialism thatexpresses the spirit of his new large-scale works on paper. Cyclicalthemes of death and resurrection, hope and destruction are depictedin dream-like psychological vignettes influenced by Albrecht Dürer’swoodcuts Apocalypse with Pictures. The mixed-media pieces seemlike illustrations for a larger narrative, one in which we only catch aglimpse of the underlying storyline and allegorical intent.ROLL HARDY Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Nov 3-26 Roll Hardy’scast-off environments, abandoned spaces and industrial scenes arecaptured with accurate details that invite one to think about the historyor events that preceded the moment he is depicting, as well asthe potential opportunities that could occur. The regionalist painterfinds beauty in the immediacy of his chosen scenes while ambiguoussettings, objects and structures present both mystery and possibility.Hardy infuses these places with a spirited interpretation that isstrengthened by his highly believable painting style.Georges RouaultDavid EckardTakeshi ShikamaBlakely DadsonRoll HardyPREVIEW 73

www.portlandartmuseum.orgAdam Sorensen, Tabernacle (2011), oil on linen [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR,Sep 3-Jan 1]APEX: Adam SorensenPORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Sep 3-Jan 1, 2012 Portland Art Museum’s APEX is adynamic exhibition program presenting a series of intimate contemporary art exhibits by activelyworking Northwest artists, includingAdam Sorensen. Sorensen migrated toPortland in the late 1990s after graduatingfrom Alfred University, NewYork. In 2003, he was selected to participatein the Oregon Biennial.The six paintings featured in hispart of the exhibit follow the trajectoryof Sorensen’s signature reinvention of agraphic-landscape world. Sorensen’spaintings draw inspiration from manyvisual sources. Pop-culture influenceslike anime inform the cartoon-like sensibilityof his rounded forms anddreamy colours, while 18th- and 19thcenturywoodblock prints by ukiyo-eartists from the Edo period are clearly referenced in the stylized compositions and treatment of space.Sorensen deconstructs the landscape into essential elements of water, land, glacial mass andmountains reminiscent of an untouched, uninhabited place in the natural world. His beautiful andfantastical oil paintings are smoothly rendered with a simple dimensionality resulting from themovement of repetitious forms on the picture plane that imply the illusion of volume and atmosphericspace. Dense candy-land topographies in surreal glowing palettes emerge from the lens of adigital-era perspective.The luminous and majestic scenes feel like an artificial conceptualization of a once-idyllic place:a long-gone utopia where breathtaking waterfalls pay homage to landscape tradition coupled withpostmodern aesthetics that fuse together the real and imagined.

www.trenchgallery.comDavid Mayrs: After That All Hell Broke LooseTRENCH CONTEMPORARY ART, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 20-Nov 12, 2011 Billed as “the controversialearly paintings of Vancouver artist David Mayrs”,After That All Hell Broke Loose includes the paintingsby Vancouver artist David Mayrs that drewthe attention of Vancouver police and led to acourt case in the mid-1960s.As Michael Turner notes in a brilliant essayaccompanying the exhibition, artwork and filmproducers of the 1960s had begun to question maleprivilege and introduce “a new and emergentfemale subject, one more complex and ultimatelymore powerful than her 1950s predecessor”. In amanner similar to de Kooning’s “Woman” series,or the less painterly but still disturbing femaleimagery of Francis Bacon, David Mayrs’s satiricaland provocative paintings addressed sexuality andsocial discourse as well as a new act of painting: virulent,violent (and even voluptuous) AbstractExpressionism.As with his contemporaries Ed Ruscha in LosAngeles and Andy Warhol in New York, Mayrscame from an advertising background where theDavid Mayrs, Mirror, Mirror (1966), oil on canvas [TrenchContemporary Art, Vancouver BC, Oct 20-Nov 12]role of sex was beginning to be explored. Thelengths to which Mayrs took sexual expression inhis paintings, however, was unprecedented. For themost part it remained in local art unmatched foranother 20 years, when Attila Richard Lukacs showed his homoerotic nudes.Vancouver artists during that period included Ron Stonier, Joan Balzar, Audrey Capel-Doray, PaulWong, Roy Kiyooka and Geoff Rees.

Marion Llewelyn: Snow AsylumBELLEVUE GALLERY, WEST VANCOUVER BC – Oct 13-Nov 12, 2011www.bellevuegallery.caMarion Llewellyn, Unidentified (2011), mixed media on wood [Bellevue Gallery, West Vancouver BC, Oct 13-Nov 12]Marion Llewellyn’s new paintings are alarmingly simple in appearance. Quiet expanses of snow,oblique planes of steel blue, tranquil expanses of mountain, floating feathers – and among them,explosions, eruptions, ominous shadows and speeding arrows.Llewelyn is is known for her explorations of the inner landscape in a manner that is simultaneouslyautobiographical and conceptual. Sixty years later, in Snow Asylum, images of her heritage are emerging:finely sketched medieval goose feather quills and delicately painted references to the ancient fortresses,gates, fences and portcullis still found in Stony Stratford, England where she grew up.Capturing critical psychological moments frame by frame, Llewellyn sets up visual metaphorsfor her own experience with post-traumatic stress disorder. Snow Asylum explores dichotomies. Snowgives a feeling of desolation and camouflage yet can also appear as serene and comforting as ablanket. Arrows may be weapons or signs of good news; mountains may beguile or threaten. Savagetitles like From the Gulag of Bearing Witness, Shock and Awe and Beyond the Wire show the intensity ofthe feelings behind the work. The images are as much about a journey through psychological pain asthey are narratives of place.Marion Llewellyn was born and educated in the United Kingdom and graduated with honoursfrom Manchester College of Art and Design. After working for several prestigious publishing housesand media outlets in England, she emigrated to Canada in 1974 and became a master typographerand seriographer. For almost 20 years she was a partner at Long and Llewellyn, Vancouver, an artand design company with over 300 awards in Canada and USA.

Transparent glaze on a metallic surface gives adeep sense of luminosity and radiant lighting for the dream-like qualityof his paintings. Peregrinations refers to the exploration and inspirationfound in his physical travels at home and abroad and in theintellectual journey undertaken in the creation process. Ultimately,observation and imagination are serenely blended in Lovelace’s eloquentsubject matter.SEEING IMPRESSIONISM: EUROPE, AMERICA AND THE NORTHWESTNorthwest Museum of Arts & Culture, Spokane, Oct 14-Feb 25, 2012Impressionism emerged in late-19th-century Europe and can betraced back to Claude Monet’s 1872 Impression, Sunrise. In reactionto the traditional approach to painting, the Impressionists experimentedwith innovative approaches to paint, brushwork, subjectmatter and elements of light. The exhibited works by Degas, Pissarro,Renoir, Cassatt, Sargent, Hassam, Ingres and others form a substantivecross-section of this historically significant movement.Kent LovelacePierre-Auguste RenoirJOANN VERBURG: INTERRUPTIONS G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Oct 14-Nov 19 JoAnn Verburg’s new photographs are a departure from herpreviously exhibited landscape-based subjects. The cityscape imageson view are of the architecture and inhabitants of Spoleto, Italy; a citythe nationally-recognized artist and her poet husband have visited forover 25 years. With a strong yet intimate sense of place in theseworks, Verburg offers an engaging visual experience for her viewers.Interruptions is also the title of a recently published book on the seriesavailable at G. Gibson Gallery.ROBERT C. JONES: RECENT WORK Francine Seders Gallery, Seattle,Nov 4-Dec 24 Paintings by Robert C. Jones are more concerned withthe structure of the figure and of the page than with rendering reality.The respected Seattle senior artist is well known for naturalisticabstractions and a process-oriented painting style. With time, hisfinished canvasses become a unified collection of moments visuallycharacterized by simple curves, assured mark-making, strong linearstructure, and a distinctive active palette. Paintings produced in thelast three years are presented here with a small grouping of etchingsand woodcuts.AN ARCHITECTURAL VIEW Prographica / fine works on paper, Seattle,Oct 29-Dec 3 The four artists in this show use elements of architecturein their work but do not necessarily share stylistic connectionsother than suggesting a human presence in their subject matter.Steve Costie’s abstractions in heavily worked graphite suggest theweightiness of buildings and Eric Elliot merges form with gesture indiffused studio interiors.

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST AND P.P.O.W. GALLERY, NY / PHOTO: JASON SCHMIDTwww.bellevuearts.orgTravelers: Objects of Dream and RevelationBELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Aug 26-Dec 31, 2011 Travelers: Objects of Dream and Revelationbrings together the work of nine contemporary artists who loosely explore the theme of travel.Sculptural objects and installations provoke fantasies and dream-oriented ideas about the anticipationof travel and what can be experienced and what actually happens during travel.The artists – Janice Arnold, Margarita Cabrera, Marc Dombrosky, Erika Harrsch, TimothyHorn, Cal Lane, Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz, and Robb Putnam – investigate the alluringnotion of escape from routine in lyricalworks with imaginary narratives. Theirpieces are unified by an emphasis onsurrealist qualities that sometimes parallelthe actual experience of travel inour culture.In particular, snow globe sculpturesby Walter Martin & Paloma Muñozconjure memories from childhoodexcursions, while Margarita Cabrera’sdeflated-looking bicycle made fromvinyl, thread, wire and foam feels likesomething from an escapist dream thatTimothy Horn, Mother-Load (2008), crystallized rock sugar, plywood, steel[Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, Aug 26-Dec 31]went awry. Janice Arnold and TimothyHorn both present ambitious life-sizedworks. Arnold’s tent-like installationfashioned from elegant and luxuriousfabrics evokes images of exotic lands, while Horn’s fantastical carriage made of crystallized rock sugarseems like it came from an extravagant tale in a world where baroque sensibilities collide with WillyWonka-like playfulness.
