Scott Everingham, "Rust Plumes," 2020
oil on canvas, 69" x 60"
“Smooth Sailing”, VIVIANEART’s second solo presentation of abstract paintings by Toronto based artist Scott Everingham, takes a rather cynical and ironic look at the larger notion of what makes one resistant to personal development.
In this exhibition the artist takes sailing, something that is typically considered leisurely, a sport for those who have the time and money, and considers it in the context of obstacles and stormy waters. The resulting paintings portray environments where sailing vessels are trapped, sinking, destroyed by nets or waves or with broken masts, ripped sails, and splintered rudders. Being on the water in such a vessel and circumstance is not something one seeks out, much like the task of confronting personal difficulties and growth. For Everingham, these paintings are an exploration of the idea of being metaphorically lost at sea.
Virtual opening event on Thursday, 10 September from 6 - 7 PM (MST) via Instagram Live (@vivianeartgallery).
