Blyth's Stevenson curates Zarytshansky gallery show
`Perfect Imperfection'
Michelle Zarytshansky of Kitchener will be the featured artist at the Blyth Festival Art Gallery's
first professional exhibition of the season, which opens with a special gala event on Friday,
June 30. The exhibit is curated by Blyth's Kelly Stevenson, who has also been a featured artist
at the gallery in recent years. (Photo submitted)
Beginning June 30, the Blyth
Festival Art Gallery will be
presenting the first of its three
professional -level exhibitions,
featuring the paintings of
Kitchener's Michelle Zarytshansky.
Raised in Wingham, she is
currently residing in Kitchener
where she has completed her degree
at the University of Waterloo in
Honours Fine Arts — Studio Practice.
Michelle was the recipient of the
University of Waterloo, Fine Arts
Excellence Award in 2015. She is a
multidisciplinary abstract painter
who focuses on the themes of place,
time, contradiction and contrasting
elements. The paintings are a mixed
style of hardedge and organic shapes
which capture time, movement and a
sense of existence within
unidentifiable realities or worlds.
Asked about the title of the show,
"Perfect Imperfection",
Zarytshansky commented, "My
artwork focuses on the themes of
place, time, contradiction and
contrasting elements. The paintings
represent a foreign, unknown reality
and display an interchangeable
essence of buoyancy and gravity. I
am intrigued with the concept of
creating paintings that are entirely
contradictory; everything from
painting style, textures, form,
palette, directional flows and titles.
The strict palette of black and white
allows for those features to be the
main focus, rather than colour being
the first impression".
The public can view Michelle
Zarytshansky's exploration of what
"Perfect Imperfection" means to her,
in the Bainton Gallery, Blyth
Memorial Hall, from June 30 - July
31. Her exhibition of paintings is
presented by the Blyth Festival Art
Gallery.
It is curated by Kelly Stevenson
and sponsored by Joan Perrie. The
gallery is located next to the Blyth
Festival box office and is open
during box office hours. Admission
is free.
