Three artists’ work is featured in two new exhibitions opening at the Gallery at Queen’s Park July 1.
Heart of the Forest features quilting work by Judy Villett and Terry Aske, all focusing on a passion for and connection to the forest.
“Both quilters use a variety of techniques, from traditional to modern, to create realistic and abstract pieces,” a press release says. “Award-winning works from both Villett and Aske have exhibited internationally and been published in art books and magazines.”
Also on display will be Lost Wax and Art in Bronze, showcasing bronze sculpture by Robert Matza – an Austrian-born sculptor who moved to Canada in the 1960s and has been exhibiting his work since taking part in his first art symposium in 1982.
An opening reception for both exhibitions is set for Wednesday, July 6 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Villett and Aske will be on hand for artist talks on Sunday, July 17, with Villett set to speak from 1 to 2p.m. and Aske from 2 to 3 p.m.
The exhibitions will be open from July 1 to 24. The gallery is open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m., and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.
