Multiples Exhibition | Loft Gallery, Clarksburg
Diptychs, triptychs and many more. It's a new exhibition featuring paintings that have a multiple component. This could be several images within a painting, or an image that is painted over several canvases, or a series.
It is quite interesting to see how much the separated images create a different effect.

Mine is a graphic take on life. Through the relative chaos, I find the design in nature and organize it on canvas. Using line and simplifying what I see, I look for interesting shapes and colours, and explore the spaces in between. Rhythm is found, and exaggerated. With an upbeat palette and a bit of whimsy for good measure, I capture Southern Ontario landscapes and architecture in acrylic paint on canvas.

Janie Barker | Contemporary Landscapes and Abstracts
Janie Barker is a recent diplomate in visual and creative arts, but she has been an artist all of her adult life. She began working in darkroom arts for colour photography, but became a popular singer in her native New Orleans. She performed for eighteen years in hotels and clubs across the southern U.S. Turning to her talent for writing, Janie later worked for a major corporation in marketing and communications. Today she has returned to the visual arts, seeking to express her boundless creativity and emotional range through the medium of paint.
“My landscapes are about beauty, drama and wonder,” she says, “but to express pure emotion, I can’t be limited by the notion of a subject–or even a brush!”

Guest artist: Miro Omes
Art serves to capture the images of beauty within our imaginations & individual realm of observation, comprehension & creative expression. My ‘discoveries’ are captured with oil pigments on canvas as a means to share with everyone, forever…My preferred painting technique is to first colour block the deepest darks and lightest lights, early in the composition & layout process.
I then work rapidly inwards to round out each vision with the exuberance of colour, the play of light & shadow & the nuance of detail & subtle suggestion.Observe, connect, enjoy & smile…thank you for sharing my vision.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to see black and white photographs crafted in a traditional wet darkroom. Cory works exclusively now with large format cameras and sheet film. You may even have seen her out photographing, working under her darkcloth to capture local scenes.
At the studio, you will see a selection of her contact prints crafted in platinum/palladium or silver on imported papers. Each work of art is unique due to small variations in the process. Cory uses film, now considered an alternative process, partly because of the magic she witnesses during the transformation of film to print.
