Steve Mennie, "Untitled," nd
mixed media on mylar, 28" x 20"
Please join us this Saturday, May 11th, for our annual Gallery hop (and talks) with the members of the Art Dealers Association of Canada
Steve Mennie is drawn both to realistic imagery and abstraction. The draw for each of these approaches in art is that of different/unique ways; one from a chosen and set subject (a recognizable/ believable real subject) and the other through risk, chance, and openness to suggestion. This exhibition explores these two extremes.
“…for me, I would say that the fundamental difference between completing a realist image (for want of a better expression) and an abstract (or non-figurative) image is one of construction vs. manifestation.” - Mennie
The Calgary Member Galleries of the Art Dealers Association of Canada will be hosting a Spring Gallery Hop on May 11th from 11 am to 6 pm.
The Gallery Hop will include brief talks at each location by leading artists, curators and critics as well as refreshments at each location. This event has grown over the years to host crowds of people who have become knowledgeable about the local visual art scene. Join us for a fun and informative day of art!
