Entertainment & Leisure 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.
