    https://www.artopenings.ca/katharine-geddes.html In May 2023, Katharine Geddes travelled to Ypres, Belgium to take part in a documentary called Ways We Remember War. She painted on land once ravaged by the First World War - now restored countryside. Geddes followed the pathways forged by Canadian war artist Mary Riter Hamilton, who painted the devastation in 1919. “Now when I paint on site I think about the power of place,” she says. “I imagine both past and future, building a continuum of moments in time.” Katharine Geddes presents Landscape and Memory at Gage Gallery Arts Collective, March 5-24, 2024 Opening is March 8, 5:30-7:30

    http://www.artopenings.ca/fired-up-2023.html Wood-firing in a Tozan anagama kiln is a 4-day marathon, requiring planning and teamwork. In April, members and guests of Fired Up! gathered on Gordon Hutchens’ property on Denman Island. Hutchens describes this wood-firing as one of the best he has experienced in 25 years of operating his anagama kiln. Visitors to the Metchosin show can view this excellence in the quality and variety of ceramics on display: vases, tea pots and bowls, sculptures, dinnerware, containers and other intriguing treasures.

    http://www.artopenings.ca/regan-rasmussen.html When the pandemic hit in March 2020, the artist turned inward to process the overwhelming situation. As she worked in solitude in the studio questions arose: How do we deal with adversity both physically and spiritually? And, as a community, how do we collectively support each other? “It’s been said that adversity introduces us to ourselves,” adds the artist.

    Alone with Trees, Grant’s solo show at the Gage Gallery, presents a unique vision of BC’s coastal landscapes. Drawn in by the lush colours and flowing textures, the viewer must interpret the subtext of these surreal environments. Visual story-telling abounds in Grant’s imaginative other-worldly vistas. We ponder our whereabouts and the events unfolding in these strange scenarios. But soon realize that the narrative thread connecting these artworks Involves relationships: to the land and each other.

The twenty paintings still use geometric shapes and architectural mapping to create depth. “But they no longer refer to a specific place,” she says. “They now show elements of urban architecture in a landscape setting.” A significant shift in mediums took place within the evolving artworks. “I found oils to be a fantastic medium to work with when painting plants or landscapes,” she says.
