to
Venter Gallery 315 Upper Ganges Road, (Merchant's Mews), Ganges, British Columbia V8K 2S3
Deon Venter, "Pentimento Series #3," 2020
charcoal and pastel on paper, 38" x 50"
The Venter Gallery will be showing a new group of large scale drawings titled Pentimento by Deon Venter, with an artist reception on Friday, February 28th from 5-8 pm in Grace Point Square.
Evoking his successful Avatar series, these large-scale drawings utilize Deon's well established drawing technique of erasing through the imagery on the paper, highlighting that the erased line is as important as the drawn line.
In art, Pentimento refers the "re-appearance in a painting of an original drawn element which was eventually painted over by the artist". While utilizing the iconography of Northwest Coast symbols in the majestic trees and birds, here in Deon's work, this hiding and revealing combine brilliantly to create a clear and rich picture.
