About the Show:

When I first started painting I looked at inanimate objects such as toys
and gave them a whimsical life in my paintings. The people were imaginary and I filled my spaces with vibrant colour.
Later on, my inspiration came from people, places, and memories that were important to me. I have dwelt on happy moments in my life.

Additional Hours: Friday to Sunday, 12-5; Monday eve 6-10; & Tuesday 12-5 pm

Tara Davis intimately blends a variety of textures and colours to create multi-media pieces and wearable scarves. She inherits, finds or otherwise acquires her materials from different times, places, and people. Each medium carries its own history and story. As Tara weaves together these assorted findings, she, therefore, mixes past with present, old with new, fact with fiction and encourages viewers and wearers to question their stories in the midst of these opposing yet complementary forces.

Encountered Souls, Artist Statement
In all of our travels we encounter souls, we hear of Old Souls, Lost Souls, Enchanted Souls and Searching Souls. All these are representative of something beyond us, which I feel a need to connect with.
If we take the time to look and listen we can find out what comprises the world we live in both materialistically but mostly spiritually. With my work I strive to capture something outside myself and thusly find out more about who I am and those around me.
My current work revolves around the found object and abstracted impressions. By collecting objects and images I feel that I am piecing together an understanding of all the overlapping slices of time and place. I Imagine scenarios and try to give identities to the ideas spawned by various writings conversations and instances that comprise my existence.

4 Artists In Plain View





The Manitoba Crafts Council opened its annual juried show, "Culture-Counterculture", at Outworks Gallery this past Thursday evening, Sept. 17. It's a great show and worth a visit or two. Doug Melnyk, speaking for the jury, said about the entries: "Overall, we were faced with a wide variety of creative processes that blurred the lines between art and craft. Many pieces were excellent in terms of  technical considerations, but the nicer surprise was the large number which were so personally expressive and so wildly experimental."
The work of four artists from In Plain View were selected for this show -
Aliza Amidude's mixed media book: "I've Often Thought About Killing Myself"
Kathleen Black's pate de verre bowl "Flowering Steel Cannikin"
Jolanta Kieres Solkaska's glass and metal piece "Emotions"
Jo'Anne Kelly's ceramic and painted silk wall piece "Goth Medusa".
The show continues at Outworks until Sept. 29. Following that, the exhibition will travel to Neepawa at the Viscount Cultural Centre for the month of October.
Winnipeg particulars:

(Note: I wasn't able to post an image of Jolanta Sokalska's work, because she's away in Poland. Hopefully I can obtain a copy of her piece when she returns. JAK)

Artist In Plain View - KATHARINE BRUCE












Katharine says about her work:
The mode of discipline that I work with involves a substantial collaboration with chance which relies upon an alertness to unintended consequences. The sudden appearance of unforseen possibilities,  in the meantime, requires a constitutional capacity to function within a certain degree of chaos. If I approach a canvas with what might appear a nonchalant anything goes disposition, it is with the same humility one brings to contemplating visual experience in the natural world. The requisite inner gesture is a sort of stepping out of the way in order to let something happen. There is the intuitive, dreamy quality of an otherworldly realm and, at the same time--here and nowness. Nature is the over riding motivation for my ART.

Katharine will welcome guests to her studio during the In Plain View Studio Tours taking place on the first weekends of November and December, '09. For more information go to:

Artist In Plain View - Nancy Blokland

Nancy Blokland is a potter based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Making pottery is a life long passion for her, as the process is therapeutic and endlessly interesting. Producing stoneware and porcelain functional ware, from mugs to soup tureens, to vases, she is heavily influenced by her time spent in Latin America. The botanical impressions from her garden and vibrant colors reflect this. Nancy strives to incorporate both beauty and functionality into every piece for the buyer so they will be used for years to come.

Kathleen Noelle Black is Back with In Plain View.
She would like everyone to know that her work is currently displaying in the Auxillary Gallery at the Cre8ery at 125 Adelaide St. View her paintings at http://www.cre8ery.com/.

Painter/ Sculptor/ Glass Worker with a BFA, U of M, and ACAD/RDCC, Alberta, Kathleen says:
It is the emotional strengths and weakness of living that give life to my work. Small pieces of glass jewelry to larger organic, cast glass sculpture, windows, oils, water colour, acrylic, monoprints and mixed media - all reflect my exploration of light, dark, transparency, reflection, growth, and time. It really is about time - time of day, time of life, how little or great the time...

Kathleen produces one of a kind glass sculptures, original paintings and small unique glass jewelry pieces. She will be found during the In Plain View studio artists' tours at:

ARTIST IN PLAIN VIEW - LARRY RICH




















Whether abstract or representational, my work in acrylic has evolved from the visual perfectionism of Graphic Design to something more raw, simple, visceral and very personal.
Eastern Philosophy has always intrigued and mystified me. This combined with my long history as a musician gives me an appreciation of the value of simplicity and space and how it contrasts and balances with the bold colours, objects and sounds that define it.
My influences include all those that celebrate the simple beauty of space. British filmaker David Lean with his sparse yet epic visual feast Lawrence of Arabia. American composer John Cage with his Zen influenced silent composition 4' 33''. Photographer Willliam Claxton and his raw simple images that capture the complexity and nuance of American Jazz.
Producing art, for me, is about trying to capture and define the energy contained in space, like an atom, vast in space, yet massive in energy. This energy is held and defined by the perfect balance of object, colour and space in a set frame - a defined space in balance. Picasso's work and traditional Eastern Art has a strong sense of this.
For me, on a personal level, it is reflected in my personal mantra , " Music is the dance of my soul, Art is its reflection, Silence and solitude its refuge ''.
Larry will be in attendance at his studio during the upcoming In Plain View Studio Tours. For more information go to http://www.inplainviewwinnipeg.com/.

ARTIST IN PLAIN VIEW - PAT BRAGG












Changes South
Photographs by Pat Bragg

Pat Bragg has had a long time love of photography and during a recent trip to Europe found her eyes sharpened by the light, the amazing textures in nature and historical structures, and the sheer exuberance of Italy.

This translated into a new appreciation for the details of life closer to home: neighbourhood gardens, prairie scenes, and our own Manitoba light and colour.

Her original works are available in several formats including framed, matted, and greeting cards and can be custom ordered in a size to fit your mood or your rooms.

Pat welcomes guests to her studio during the In Plain View Studio Tours taking place on the first weekends of November and December, 2009 and of next June, 2010. For more information, go to: http://www.inplainviewwinnipeg.com/.

Open during tour hours and year round by appointment. Also during the summer of 2009 check out her displays at the Pine Ridge Hollow Farmer’s Market (Saturdays) and the Osborne Village Farmer’s Market (Thursdays 4-8 p.m.)

A New Artist In Plain View - Gloria De Neve















Gloria De Neve was born in Green Bay, Manitoba . She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba, followed by studies with the British Craftsman Association in England and Wales.

Gloria says about her work:
My imagery balances the tension in the fragility and vulnerability of the physical body ...... with the quiet timelessness and strength of the human spirit.
I use the human body as my imagery, to explore this balance and tension. As each person's lifetime is journeyed, the evolution of the soul is etched in one's own "Spirit Shield", which never dies, which carries on from one lifetime to another. My Raku forms have evolved into expressions of the Spirit Shield, and the search for these higher truths.
My work reflects this search within the sculptural and embellishment possibilities found in both Raku clay and hand-painted, manipulated silk fibre. Both mediums offer a similar tactile process of touch and movement.

Gloria and artist, Gina Roth ( from Hillside Beach ), will be having an upcoming show of their recent work at the Wayne Arthur Gallery ( 186 Provencher Blvd., Winnipeg ).
The exhibition, "Life's Journeys", runs from October 4th - 28th, with the Artist Reception on October 4th, from 1:00 - 4:00 pm.
