Irena Gendelman, "Along the Seine," 2018
The West End Gallery Edmonton is pleased to present the group exhibition of Toronto based artists Aleksandra and Sabina, and Israel based artist Irena Gendelman, opening Saturday November 17.
Influences of their home country, Ukraine, are apparent in their works, where sensual language and texture take precedence. Expressed in scenes full of splendour, romance, colour, and personality, the vitality and vibrancy of their paintings are admired by collectors around the globe.
Upon moving to Toronto in 2005, Aleksandra was immediately mesmerized by the beautiful land and cityscapes of her new home. In her paintings, Aleksandra explores cubic forms by applying thenpaint in a structured and geometric fashion, contrasted by splashes of warm, vibrant colour.
Using a palette knife as her favourite tool of expression, Sabina has perfected her vigorous and powerful technique to create contemporary landscapes and floral arrangements. Sabina’s mastery of bringing the intensity of light into her pieces brings a very profound sense of artistic maturity.
Irena Gendelman gained a passion for art when very young, and has traveled to numerous cities in Europe and the Middle East, contributing to the evolution of her artistic style. Full of passion and life, her paintings appear solid, yet light, exuding a sense of ethereal realism.
