A L O N E together: an exhibition at Triangle Gallery, Toronto, October 19 to 28

Laura Culic — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 02:09:42 +0000

“A L O N E together” is the title of the first show by a group of painters I am proud to be part of. The group includes award winning artists Susan Avishai, Brian Harvey, Mark Kellett, Jennifer Lawton, Gordon Leverton, Laurie Skantzos and Janice Tayler.
Although we work in a variety of styles and media, we share a powerful collective interest in forging new and independent ways to direct our visions.
The show title signifies the unifying sense of professionalism we share as mid-career artists — acting as sounding boards, critics and support for each other in what can be a very solitary occupation.
As well as a common philosophy, as a group we have recognized we all share a mutually high level of professional achievement and success. “A L O N E together” is a celebration of these unique visions and accomplishments.

“Let’s be alone together; let’s see if we’re that strong…” (L. Cohen)

Awarded “Best in Painting” TOAE 2012!!

I was thrilled to receive the award for Best in Painting at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition this past weekend! Judges had come to my booth several times over Friday and Saturday, so I did suspect I was on their list of potentials, but when they announced to me I was selected as “Best”, I was truly astonished! And very happy! The award came with a $1000 gift card from Curry’s, which I shall enjoy spending for sure. Here are a few pics of work I had at the show — with more to be posted shortly.

Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition: July 6, 7, 8!

The 51st Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition is less than one short week away!
I have been working feverishly (partly due to the heat compounded by a hot griddle, electric frying pans and a propane torch, no doubt) in preparation for this show. TOAE is typically my most fun — and most successful! — show of the season. I’m really looking forward to this year’s show, and I’m totally pumped about my new work!
Due to construction/renovation on Nathan Phillips Square, it has not been an easy task for show coordinators to finalize booth locations. My location is Booth 125, and even though it shows on the current map as in the white section, I will in fact be located in Green — which is the area on the grass, between Queen Street and the paved part of the square (hopefully under some trees!)

Our land, water and climate are all threatened by the latest federal budget. Proposed changes in the budget bill will weaken environmental laws and silence the voices of those who seek to defend them.
Silence is not an option.

ArtSpin and Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition

I’m very proud to be taking part in the 51st Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, July 6, 7, 8 at Nathan Phillips Square — six short weeks away!! I am knee deep in wax and paper scraps — wading through wooden panels in various stages of completion — on my way to creating lots of brand new encaustic work for the show.

Spring Migration 24″ x 48″ encaustic, oil and paper, available at MJG Gallery, Toronto

In other news, for iPad users, the first volume of the exclusive iPad app, ArtSpin is now available on the iTunes Store:
http://itunes.apple.com/ca/book/artspin.01/id523775428?mt=11
Volume One of ArtSpin features 15 wonderful artists — including me! About 15 pieces of artwork can be viewed for each artist, along with an insightful interview. I think ArtSpin is a really neat concept — it provides a way for art lovers to discover exciting new art and connect directly with the artists.
