Ron Shuebrook Selected Works: Five Decades Opening Reception: Friday, April 11 Runs in the Minarovich Gallery until May 18 Ron Shuebrook – Artist Statement The diverse pieces in the exhibition have been selected from my professional career that started in the mid-sixties. Although beginning with a figurative print completed during my undergraduate studies at Kutztown University, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1965, and several drawings and a painting that were made at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Maine, during that following summer, the included works focus on my ongoing commitment over many decades to the investigation of abstraction and non-objective...Julie Rene de Cotret: A Material Mélange of Comfort, Style and Violence
Julie René de Cotret A Material Mélange of Comfort, Style and Violence. February 28 - April 6, 2008 A Material Mélange of Comfort, Style and Violence; is a physical reflection of our man made world. This exhibition is a sculptural installation, featuring a re-constructed environment and offering the viewer a re-interpretative perspective of our World. Julie René de Cotret, uses process to inform her work conceptually. She utilises common objects, images and techniques to reference everyday life. The process which these “things” are subjected to, is one of material and conceptual deconstruction. To deconstruct an object into material, to create...
Sara Angelucci: Mining the Family Archive
Artist Statement Mining the Family Archive www.sara-angelucci.ca January 10 to February 23 This exhibition brings together a number of projects created over a ten-year period (1997-2007) inspired by images and most recently stories derived from my family archive.

Fiona Kinsella: The Wilderness
Fiona Kinsella the wilderness Opening Reception Thursday, June 21, 7:30 p.m. Minarovich Gallery Hamilton born sculptor Fiona Kinsella uses icing sugar to create cakes: small confections decorated with teeth, skin, hair, bone, claws, seeds, dust, hat pins, rhinestones, insect wings, dental tools, bullets, etc. The combination of materials is provocative, and the resulting imagery is disturbing, humorous, and still somehow beautiful. A graduate of the University of Guelph’s School of Fine Art and Music, Kinsella says the Wilderness has more to do with ‘revelation’ or confronting the devil in the desert, than spotting a deer in the woods. Her work...
