SUMMARY:Clive Powsey : Discontemporary Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:Like many artists I see images and iconography primarily existing in a continuum that goes back to the dawn of human culture and is sustained by recurring archetypes.  The term “contemporary art” attempts to locate pictures here and now in time and space taxonomically\, but this feels unnatural for those who take stock of the visual art record in the way visual artists do.  Artists might be more inclined to categorize by iconography\, medium\, or style\, for example.  I see my completed images as ‘discontemporary\,’ immediately uploaded from the fleeting present to an unspeakably vast\, oceanic and noisy continuum of art imagery. Each image is dispatched in the hope that someone\, somewhere\, at some time will discern its signal amongst the noise.  Hopefully this one-day-only pop-up exhibition of selected intaglio printmaking will appear briefly in time and space at 10am on the morning of February 8th at Artful Gallery and provide something to delight or offend any visitors before disappearing at 4pm.

SUMMARY:Capt. Jeff
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Hartbower is a long time Comox Valley resident and he has been a central figure in the arts community here over the past 25 years. Jeff is most famously known for his folk art wood sculpture and assemblage pieces. He has found inspiration in everything from local politics\, cultural anomalies and local artists. He frequently collaborates with other artists creating sculptures in response to their work\, both as a form of homage and expansion of their ideas. Jeff has organized many exhibitions over the years\, bringing Comox Valley artists together to elaborate on his themes. Some memorable exhibitions have been the “Merkin & Codpiece Show”\, “The Jar Show” and “Spinal Tap”.\n\nJeff has been generous with his artistic output\, creating trophies for exhibitions\, keepsakes for volunteers\, as well as display cases and plinths for CVAG in its early days. He was a regular at the Muir Gallery\, and one of the first brave souls to walk through the door at Artful : The Gallery when it opened in the early days of the pandemic.\n\nIt is no surprise that the community has embraced the concept of this exhibition\, conceived of by Peter Polsen. The recipients of Jeff’s generous spirit have come forward in droves to supply the work for Artful to mount this retrospective of Jeff Hartbower’s art and contributions to the Comox Valley art community. Together\, the 80 pieces in this exhibition have created an environment best described by Jeff as\, “Walking in to a life-sized cabinet of curiosities”. Exhibition runs till Dec 21st\, Gallery hours Weds-Sat 12-5pm. Artist reception Saturday\, Nov 23\, 7-9pm.

SUMMARY:Art Writers Ghost Collective One Day Pop-up Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Just two weeks following a lymphoma diagnosis in October of last year\, Courtenay artist Josh Klassen wanted a low-key\, but creative way to connect with friends and family for his birthday. The first group painting party kicked off a project that would last through the next several months of treatment. A loose collective was formed\, and a body of work emerged. The Art Writers Ghost Collective gathered most Sundays between November 2023 and  March  2024 for brunch and a collaborative painting. \nThe core group of artists includes Anna Rambow\, Josh Klassen\, Olivia Klassen\, Marcelle Wheeler\, and Dave Miklos\, but the attending participants are fluid with a range of people contributing towards each painting. \nOften using up-cycled canvases\, the pieces are usually large enough to cover the dinner table. The artists rotate around the canvas and spin the painting throughout the afternoon. The process begins with a colourful abstraction which is then detailed with a final inking. An intention of letting go\, non-attachment\, trust in each other and no wrong answers sets the tone for the journey through each session. \nThe first showcasing of work by the Art Writers Ghost Collective takes place for one day only at Artful: The Gallery in Courtenay. All are welcome to join us on October 12 from 1pm until 5 pm. There will be an interactive painting for those interested in participating\, set to the experimental music soundscape of David Miklos and Jesse Gentes duo ZEK. The open house exhibit marks the one year anniversary of Josh’s cancer journey\, and a celebration of his remission. All are welcome.

SUMMARY:Pearl Ellis Gallery Presents: "Outside In"
DESCRIPTION:The Pearl Ellis Gallery is thrilled to present “Outside In\,” a captivating group show featuring the works of Maggie Ziegler\, Sharon Lalonde\, Shea Kotilla\, Jean Cockburn\, Lynn Farwell\, Larissa McLean\, and Elaine Smith. This exhibition runs from September 17 to October 12\, 2024. \nThe concept behind “Outside In” explores the sources of artistic inspiration. It goes beyond the visible world\, delving into the emotions and intangible feelings that drive creativity. This exhibition emphasizes the synthesis of external experiences with internal emotions to create art that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant. \nThe participating artists draw from their surroundings\, memories\, and personal experiences\, blending these with their inner emotions to create pieces that not only depict but also connect on a deeper level\, capturing what matters. \nWhile technical skill is essential\, the artists in “Outside In” aim to infuse their work with personal expression. This adds a unique touch that transforms their creations from mere representations into meaningful\, original art. \n“Outside In” challenges the notion that art must replicate reality. Instead\, the artists focus on capturing the essence of their inspirations—both seen and unseen—inviting viewers to engage with their work on an emotional level. \nMeet the artists and experience their work firsthand at the opening reception on Saturday\, September 21\, from 1-3 PM. The Pearl Ellis Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday\, from 10 AM to 4 PM.

SUMMARY:Salon des Refusés Artist Reception at Artful : The Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In 1863 in Paris\, France\, the jury for the annual Salon rejected two thirds of the painters who had presented work for adjudication into the prestigious Salon. The list of the refused included Gustave Courbet\, Edouard Manet\, Camille Pissarro\, Antoine Chintreuil\, James McNeill Whistler\, and Johan Jongkind. The rejected artists\, their patrons\, and supporters protested until they reached the ears of Emperor Napoleon III. \n“Numerous complaints have come to the Emperor on the subject of the works of art which were refused by the jury of the Exposition. His Majesty\, wishing to let the public judge the legitimacy of these complaints\, has decided that the works of art which were refused should be displayed…” \nThe critical attention legitimized the emerging avant-garde\, and the Impressionists exhibited their work outside of the Salon from 1874 onwards\, and the status of the Paris Salon began its decline. ​ \nWe have some entertaining\, heartless\, and kind rejection letters to accompany this exhibition\, and many of these artists have had defining moments in their careers as a result of their rejections (including the owner of Artful : The Gallery) Join us to celebrate with our rejections at the Salon des Refusés!
