Triumph of Light
April 3 – April 18, 2021
Artist Talk online: 3:30 pm Saturday, April 10th
Solo Guitar Soundtrack by Caelen LaRocque
While the organic cycle makes its inevitable journey through the seasons from dark to light, we struggle to see beyond our masks. Light emerges to a new awakening. It throws out hope, optimism, humour and creativity on a bleak landscape
Every winter brings an end to the organic cycle and the dark winter days seem endless. The angle of the light is low, throwing dense shadows. As Spring approaches there is no stopping the light as it permeates every aspect of our being. The landscape is illuminated by this pure new light.
The emergence of light amid a dark universe is biblical. We are observing this in a broken, corrupt world. This series of paintings display the triumph of light after a long, dark winter.
