Dieter Schlatter |
|
Dieter Schlatter launches his second solo show with Canada House Gallery with a rich and varied artistic background in filmmaking, photography and painting. Schlatter juxtaposes a historic aesthetic symbolized by herds of buffalos, railway tracks and the aged medium of oil painting with the relatively new technology of photography and a gritty, graffiti style of painting. |

Page Ough |
|
Page Ough has developed a distinctive style using watercolour, acrylic and mixed media to detailed vignettes of wildlife in their natural environment and beautifully composed still life scenes with her favourite songbirds. When this technique fuses with her innate understanding and love for wildlife and nature one cannot resist the beauty, sensitivity and meticulous quality of each and every one of her paintings. |

Terry McCue |
|
With much anticipation and prior participation in three group exhibitions, Canada House Gallery in Banff is proud to host the second solo exhibition for Alberta artist, Terry McCue. This Ojibwa native of Ontario brings his interpretation of life to us in his bold, vividly coloured paintings. The Native people portrayed by McCue relate their culture, customs and quiet dignity through the simple poses granted them by this artist's brush. McCue communicates their stories using traditional and personal symbols and colours. However, the poignant rendition of people encountered by this artist is not the mainstay of McCue's repertoire.
Seemingly larger than life examples of various wild animals also dominate this artists' work. Moose that visit his back yard, bears that vanish from his sightline, leaping cougars and brilliantly decorated war horses also find their way onto McCue's canvasses with smaller mammals and birds acting as their spiritual guides. These mystical creatures can move from one world into the next and provide us with the hope that we may be able to move through the world as they do: as a being separate from others, but wholly connected to all.
