Together with TrépanierBaer Gallery, Loch Gallery is excited to present DOUBLE TAKE: John Hall & Evan Penny, a joint feature of two extraordinary works, by painter, John Hall and sculptor Evan Penny. Framed: Phoenix 1 by Hall and Self-Portrait, Variation #3 by Penny.

Two of Calgary's most renowned contemporary artists, both graduates of Alberta College of Art, albeit a decade apart, Hall and Penny have been friends and colleagues since the late 1970's. During the 1980's both artists were, in Hall's words, "attempting to breathe new life into the tradition of realist art". Both artists did exactly that and continue to do so in their practices, each with unique approaches in their respective media.
