Opening Reception- Friday, Nov 11th, 1-4pm
Red Gate Arts Society and painter Dylan Humphreys invite you to A Rainy Day. A survey of contemporary-historical oil paintings based on the artist’s great grandfather’s photographs from World War 2, in which he served with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
This series shares an intimate record of the war and served as a coping mechanism for the artist during the COVID-19 lock down and subsequent invasion of Ukraine, which is where the artist’s family immigrated from in the 1930s. Dylan’s homage interpolates the imagery of Canadian war posters, war comic books and modernist painting in order to create a narrative that examines the sensation of PTSD as well as intergenerational-trauma.
Artist Talk-Saturday Nov 12th, 2pm
