Inspired by the work of the Inuit and by the work of Henry Moore and Rodin, Vance Theoret found himself drawn to the deceptive simplicity of using the form to suggest detail.
“I like to let the stone tell me what it wants to be…when I do this the end product is so much more alive than if I had forced my design upon it! Doing this also allows the stone to work with you and puts colours and patterns in places that you couldn’t plan any better. I carve wildlife, especially bears and owls as I find them a good vehicle for my sense of humour. Although I take my work seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously…so much of my work has a light playfulness about it!” - Vance Theoret

Fortune Gallery is pleased to present Handwritten, an art exhibition that that features figurative inspired paintings by local artist Philip Mix. Through his work, Philip explores the subtle nuances within gesture and the manner by which it communicates meaningful deeper truths. Working with various modernist methods of painting in cubist and futurist styles, Philip has created beautifully intimate portraits that showcase the beauty of the figure and individual character.
Handwritten runs from October 2 - 30th, 2023. Join us for the exhibition opening reception and live music on October 5, 6:30 - 8:30PM
