This summer two new exhibitions open at Two Rivers Gallery representing an intriguing and through provoking exploration of landscapes - both Canadian and international. A trope that has fascinated artists for centuries, these two exhibitions approach the landscape genre from a contemporary standpoint addressing concerns that harbour passion and pain within society today.
David Alexander's exhibition "The Shape of Place" brings together works from all phases of this nationally recognized artist's career depicting such varied locales as the Canadian Arctic, Iceland, the Canadian Prairies and the Rocky Mountains. Alexander's paintings are characterized by their intensity of vision, strong, vibrant colours and convincing sense of the particularities of place. He works to personally extend the meaning and role of landscape painting as a contemporary activity, field of thought and endeavour. In his hands, landscape painting survives as a valid, living pursuit, not something relegated to the past. It could be said that his work is actually not so much about landscape as it is about nature, and one's experience when immersed in the natural environment. This exhibition is organized and circulated by the Kelowna Art Gallery.
"From the Outer Edges" brings together an inspired selection of paintings by Whitehorse, Yukon based artist Jane Isakson. The three outer edges of Canada's west, north and east coasts are represented here by three remote National Parks - Gwaii Haanas in Haida Gwaii, Ivvavik in Yukon Territory and Gros Morne in Newfoundland. By emphasizing forms and geometric patterns in the landscape, Isakson implies a sense of underlying order and potential hidden meaning in nature.
