Four artists exploring abstraction are featured in a new show at a Wortley Village gallery.
Westland Gallery’s exhibition, Abstraction, including works by Sharon Barr, Jill Price, Maggee Day and Bryan Jerney, runs Tuesday to March 28, with a reception March 14.
“This exhibition is a window into the many possibilities of abstract painting,” said Danielle Hoevenaars, the gallery’s associate director. “Barr, Price, Jesney and Day all use abstraction in varying degrees to address ideas as diverse as perfection, consumerism, landscape, tradition, technology, music and the subconscious.”
Toronto artist Barr obtained her arts degree from York University and education degree from the University of Toronto
Price is curator at Quest Art in the Midland Cultural Centre and teaches part-time at Georgian College and Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD).
Day, a graduate of Arva’s Medway secondary school, earned her art degree at OCAD and is working on a master’s degree at Emily Carr University in Vancouver.
Jesney, a well-known London artist who in Hoevenaars’ words, “explores the subconscious through his paintings,” is a graduate of London’s Bealart program and OCAD.
