Irene Klar, "Journeys with Colour," 2018
Join us for the opening reception Saturday September 15 with artist in attendance from 1-4pm.
Inspired by water, whether it be the sea or rivers near and far, Irene Klar focuses on the people who rely on it- those people who make the water a timeless source of life, travel and trade with the canoe being the prominent fixture. More than just carrying her blanket-wrapped figures, Irene transforms the canoe into the foundation of each piece. As her style evolves closer to abstraction, the canoe is deconstructed to its linear element and acts as the focal point for the composition. Recognized throughout North America, Irene has painted commissions for: Amnesty International Canada, Amnesty International USA and the Trans-Canada Trail. She is also widely represented in both public and corporate collections.
